Argon 18 Gallium Pro vs pre 2011 Cervelo R3
Hi
Im owner of 2008 Cervelo R3
It has come time for changes
I need an advice regarding which frame should I choose next
I want stiff but comfortable frame good for climbing
I live in hilly / mountain area with lots of climbs ( 6-10% / 2-3 km long ) - up and down , up and down ..........
Road quality is low in my area
My weight is 93 kg
I do not race but if I have any free time i`m biking usually 70-120 km per ride
I find Argon 18 Gallium or Gallium Pro very interesting - but not a popular mark in Poland
- could You make some advice , comparaison is it good frame - would it be better than Cervelo
Or maybe any other suggestions ?
Regards
Wojtek

At this level of quality, I doubt there's a dimes worth of difference between any be it Cervelo, Trek, Cannondale, Pinarello etc. Kind of boils down to what you fancy aesthetically. That said, I think the Cervelos are dandy.

Keep the Cervelo R3. One of the best bikes out there, even by 2011 standards. Grass isn't always greener on the other side.
