I need help on a bike purchase decision
Hi,
My name is Chris and I have a hard decision to make. I am not extremely knowledgable about bikes and components as I have only been cycling for a year. I recently got in a bike/car accident and wrecked the frame of my carbon Kestrel 200SC. Most of my components are alright though. Here is the decision: Kestrel Manufacturer will replace the same frame for around $700 or they will give me the new Talon for around $850 (just the frame and fork) which means I would need new shifters (mine are downtube) and a new headset, but the frame comes with a lifetime warranty. I could buy a Kestrel 200SCI a slightly newer model of my bike with almost the same components on it but the whole bike for $850 Or I could get a brand new Talon from a local shop for $1500 with all components. and the last option look for another kind of bike. I have about $1150 in insurance money to spend. Any advice you could give me would greatly appreciated Thanks. -Chris Smallfield |
