I want to buy a road bike to do about 40 rides a year
(between 20 and 40 miles). Dry use only - unless caught out.
I have ridden a friend's Tiagra geared bike and enjoyed the
smooth changing. I have looked on eBay but haven't yet seen
the bike for me.
Nelson's near Abergavenny will sell me a very lovely Tiagra
groupset new bike for about £570. Decathlon has a triple
chainset bike for £350 - no other detail available yet - I
have to phone them.
The question;
Does the groupset matter than much? (It does for MTB, I tend
to fit only XT stuff on my Marin FRS.)
I want fairly faultless mechanical performance, should I
shell out the £570?
