Please help!! Which is a better option here?

Hi guys

Im finally trading my road bike in for a triathlon bike. Please can you give me your advice on the best option?

I have 2 options:

1) 2015 Orbea Ordu M30 11 speed 105.
2) 2013 Trek speed concept 7 with Sram Apex.

The Trek is clearance stock and is 30% less than the Orbea.

Thanks for the help!

Have you ridden both of them? If so which one feels better to you? The trek sounds like a great deal, espeically if it is clearance and still comes with warranty but it might come down to a matter of whehter you prefer the SRAM group or the Shimano. They have different feels and slightly different shifting methods.

I would go Trek as long as it fits.
