I gotta a good yr end bonus and wish to get myself a good road bike. 2 brands I’m considering. Either a S-Work Venge or a Bianchi Oltre. Both bike cost abt the same and I’m not looking to save a couple of hundred dollars. I’m just a social rider and ride av. twice a week and like to have a bike that I can enjoy riding for the next 5 yrs. (barring not chasing fashion).
I know the spec for each bike quite well. Both are very light, the Venge is made more stiffer and more aero than Oltre, but that isn’t my main criterion in choosing a bike. I don’t need all the stiffness as I’m not into competitive cycling. I like the style of the Venge but the celeste colour of the Oltre caught me. I’m sure both will suit my riding if made to fit properly.
Like to hear your opinion, if any, which may able to make me decide.
Tks.
