I'm in the process of buying a bike and need help making a decision. I tested out a couple of bikes today, a Cervelo Team Soloist (aluminum) that sells for 2500 (with dura ace shifters and derailleurs) that was solid...very fast and very stiff...i liked it.
then i tested an 07 trek madone 5.9SL carbon loaded with dura-ace...also solid, listed at 3500 (down from 5400)...
now, my price range was 3k, and the cervelo is a great bike and i could get pedels, a computer, etc...at 3500, that's over my budget and i'm not sure i want to spend that much money...however, is that 1k in upgrades (carbon frame, all dura-ace) worth it? again, i don't want to spend that much...
any advice is appreciated.
