Hi All,
I wrote a thread last week about changing my Kona phd flatbars to dropbars and some of the members here gave me some good advice on which bar ends to look for, and also which brake parts to change.
Whilst in the LBS (from where I bought the bike) one of the guys let me know they'd take my bike back as a trade-in and only lose a small amount of cash as it's only done the Mordialloc ride twice, no other riding at all.
Anyway, they've offered me a choice of two bikes for the same price:
this one: http://gb.cannondale.com/bikes/06/ce/model-6RR8D.html this has Shimano 105 running gear and Shimano 550 wheels (Aust model must be different than UK which has Mavic wheels)
or a Masi Gran Corsa with Campag Centaur running gear and Campag Vento wheels. (similar to this http://www.masibikes.com/cycles/gran_c.php)
I am going for a test ride on both this afternoon to see which feels better for me, which one would be the better buy seeing as they are both the same price.
thanks - Jim
