So - I broke my tibia and I am out for a bit (thank a boat trailer, slippery ramp, and then running on it after)
Browsing new bikes. I am not quick enough to cost benefit the $6000 bikes.
So the B14 and Speexmax CF 7.0 are on my short list.
problem: they do not have my size currently in the Speexmax and after everything it is $2600 bucks. No local bike shop since it is direct ordering. The B14 is at the local bike shop for $1900. I get the benefits of the local bike shop. Storage is way better on speedmax and just looks a heck of a lot cleaner. The B14 has Ultegra and the Speedmax has 105s.
Is there a way to clean up the front end of a B14? Get rid of that sloppy cable mess? Also is there a type of storage option I do not know about that will fit right behind the bars such as the Felt IA and the speedmax has? I have OCD and do not like sloppy - but I am also impatient and the less money I spend the better. I do not finance. Just cash.
Ideas?
