I am contemplating between two bikes. The Caledonia 5 and the Soloist.

They would have to fit in next to my Cervelo P3 which I ride on solo training rides training for Ironmans.



The new bike is for the every day ride. Some long, some not so long (between 60 and 200km). Sometimes solo, sometimes with friends. Mostly flat, sometimes climbing.



Is there really much difference between the two bikes? Would I be much faster on the Soloist than the Caledonia 5 (due to rider position)? Or is this negligible? Would the Caledonia really be that more comfortable on the 100km+ rides than the Soloist? Or is this negligible too?



I’ve been trying to find answers but not been finding many.



Are there any pros or cons for either of the bikes that you can think of (please feel free to share your subjective opinions, no need to be scientific ;-))

Is there anything to say regarding which bike should compliment the TT bike best?



Many thanks for your opinions!
