Still researching my upgrade
So I'm currently on a cannondale comfort and I'm looking to upgrade to a entry/decent road bike. My price point is trying to stay under $1000. I've been looking at things like Jamis Ventura Comp, Scott Speedster s40, Specialized Allez Sport, etc. which all have tiagra/sora and are all around 850~.
However,... my LBS has a used Klein which i think is a q pro xv. It has all ultegra components and is just overall sexy and is being sold for a flat $1000. This is at the top of my price range which i can deal with but I'm just wondering if it would be overkill for what I'm planning on doing which is commuting around 12miles both ways M-F and then going on longer rides, around 30miles or so, on weekends.
Any advice? Are the sora/tiagra bikes I mentioned good enough or should I go for the used Klein which the LBS guy says is the perfect size for me. Thanks!
