New bike advice
I'm in the market to purchase a bike and I have two that I'm considering from Ebay. Since I'm relatively new to the sport, I'm asking for advice on which would be the better bike and the better deal. Before I sold my previous bike a few weeks ago, I was putting in about 75 miles a week. I do not plan on being competitive so my goals are local rides and hopefully century's as I build up my endurance. Any advice on which would be the better bike and better deal?

Any advice would be appreciated. |
The S1 is a great bike. The wheels suck. I don't know anything about the BH. As a side note, the S1 has a pretty aggressive geometry. It was fine for the MS150 ride I did (on my S2), but it wouldn't be a top choice for repeated centuries IMO.

That seems like a great price for either bike. I'm partial to BH because they have a lot of local presence here in Phoenix, but that has nothing to do with your purchase.
