Hi all,
I am about to purchase a road bike, after riding a loaner for the past
season. I (think) I have narrowed the field down to two bikes.
These bikes are from the same manufacturer and are *IDENTICAL* with
the following exceptions:
Bike A Bike B
======== ========
Frame: Composite Aluminum
Cranks: Shimano Ultegra 39/53T TruVativ Roleur GXP 36/50T
BB: Shimano Ultegra TruVativ Giga X Drive
Wheels: Shimano R550 Formula Xero XSR-1
Saddle: Titanium rails Manganese rails
Price difference is approx. $550 US. Apart from a composite frame, is
there much difference between the components? The rest of the bike(s)
componentry is composed of 10-speed Ultegra.
(Just about) Any feedback would be appreciated!! Bonus points for
those who spot the manufacturer.
Cheers,
Dave
