Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

New here, need advice please for bike with Kickr Snap

Hi there,

I'm recovering from back surgery and I used to always love riding when I was younger so I decided to go for a Kickr Snap to use Zwift to get back in shape. I am on a super tight budget atm and later down the line I will invest more in a bike but for now I'm stuck on 2 choices because I have some time restrictions and need the bike by Thursday. I was hoping I could get input on one of these 2 bikes. I would prefer a much better bike than these two but again, that will come later... I just need to get set up for now. Your input would be greatly appreciated~

First is Tommaso Sentiero:

I would so much appreciate opinions on the superior choice between these two. Again, I will be usin this with Kickr Snap as well if that matters.

They both equal out to the same price.

Thanks so much.

Wholly depends on whether you prefer discs or need a triple. I'd expect 50-34 with an 11-32 will get you up almost any hill you are likely to encounter unless you live in the Rockies, so I am not sure the triple is necessary, and I'd much prefer Sora nine to Claris eight.
