Basically I want to know, assuming that geometry is not an issue (either will work), what is the better deal? The Dawes at 329 or the Redline at 550?
The Dawes is basically the same bike as the SE Lager which goes for about $200 more. The components on the Redline don't look any better than those on the Dawes. Unless I really liked the way the Redline rode more, I couldn't justify buying it over the Dawes.
