Question about softrides from a roadie!
 
I ride a tirreno razza 2.0 (a road alu frame with 105 components). I am offered a frame trade for a new Softride. (Same components)


Would you do it?

Txs for the feedback!

Is the bike purely for TT/Tris, or would be your only bike?

Which model and what do you intend to use it for? The geometry of some Softride models are more geared toward triathlon/time-trialing (long front-center/short rear-center and short head tube for riding steep) and others are more geared toward road riding and yet others are kind of in-between (usable for either).

I have an old Powerwing 700 which has an "in-between" geometry and I use it for triathlon. I really like the ride.

I'd be using it for road rides and commuting no time trials in the immediate future. I think the frame would be the aformentionned middle of the road.
the more I think of it, the less I like the deal though...
