Maybe someone with more experience will correct me on this but i think the Capo is a better bet based on more of a "road bike" setup vs. the fillmore being more a "track bias". I would think the Capo would be a better fit for a newbie.....and I agree.....wait for the black capo. the red one looks cool but looking at it reminds me of those high knee socks you'd see basketball players wearing back in the mid 70's.
