It does depend what riding you intend doing, as I'm crap on hills I swapped the 53-39 for a compact 50-34 crankset and the Felt saddle is not the best so changed that. Graham. |

Some I guess may suggest you will pay top £ for the Bianchi just because of the name. The Cube however will get you the Tiagra groupset and all the components are branded and not in house stuff. The quality of this German bike was also excellent but they are quite new to the market so we were told. We didn't look at the Felt but another very good brand and also good list of components. Choice for us (or rather the OH!) was down to the look of the bike but I reckon any of the bikes will be a very good buy. What might dictate your eventualt choice may be availablity of size with it being the 2010 ranges you have been looking at. Good luck and let us know what you get. |
