Chromo budgets

Probably the two lowest priced, full chromoly bikes - the Dawes SST Steel and the Nashbar Hounder. Which do you think is the better of the two? I know, one sloping TT and the other not.

Whatever fits you better, will be the best option.
Or a kilo TT.

Thanks for the reply.

Seeing how the wife took possession of the new Madison, I'm in need of a budget ride until after the winter saving period. Would the 4130 Dawes SST Steel be a comparable frame to the 4130 Madison?

Why not just pick up another Madison?
