Hey Everyone,
I am not completely new to road biking I have been doing it for a year or so, mostly I ride on the road for fun and i have done a couple of olympic triathalons. I am on a bit of a budget and my 7 year old piece of junk road bike need to be replaced.
I have done some research and in my price range I have found the following 3 bikes:
Specialized Allez
Trek 1000
Felt F90
i was wondering if any of you experts out there have any comments on any or all three of those bikes, likes, dislikes, what you have heard etc. Also for a male I am a pretty short rider (5'5") so if any insight can be given into that it would also be helpful, I am planning on getting a 52cm frame.
Finally, would i be better off bying something used that comes with 105 groupset rather than any of the above which i think all come with Sora.
thanks in advance for your advice.
cheers.
