I've got about $1500 to spend on a new Road Bike (upgrading from a Miata 210 that is way to big for me).
I'm looking at:
Specialized Allez Cro Moly (3 chain rings) with ALL Ultegra components (for $1300 on closeout).
Orbea Volata Triple
It's got Carbon Fork, Main Stays, Seat post, Campy Mirage Components.
($1100 on close out)
I'm looking for a good climbing bike pretty much. I live in Colorado so 3 chain rings is necessary.
Obviously one is Cro Moly and one is Aluminium. These are just close outs here at my LBS's.
I'm very new to cycling. Not sure about the campy components on the second one (I really trust the Ultegra on the Specialized).
I"m not sure what to get. I'd love to save some $$ because I also need boots and pedals.
If anyone has any suggestion on other bikes (I'd like to stick to Specialize, Trek, Orbea or Bianchi) that might be more what i"m looking for, I'd love to hear it.
I need to keep everying under $1500.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
RDS
