Which is better Carrera Zelos or Carrera TDF

[winner32]

I am thinking of buying a new road bike to race. I am torn between Carrera Zelos or Carrera TDF http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_810707_langId_-1_categoryId_165710

As a new rider I would appreciate any help or advice anybody could give on the bikes

I am about 5ft 8 which is the better bike?

if you are 5 feet and 8 inches tall then both bikes are too big for you (58cm and Large) if you are 5'8 feet tall then they would be barely ok, but a medium would still be better p.s. the TDF in the picture is not a 58cm, (but the specification tells you that is what they have in stock) both are good for their price range, the TDF has a bit better drivetrain with an 8 speed cassette

If you're about 5'8" you should be on something in the 52-54 cm (small to medium) range. 5'8" is not tall or large, it is the short side of medium.

Ask Halford's if they have anything in your size.
