Hey guys n giris,
I've been happily learning from this forum for a while now so thanks for your help!!!
I am aware the 'which bike' question has been asked a million time but I genuinely cannot find a comparison which I am guessing is because the 2 bikes are normally in different price categories. If anyone of you experienced folk can help I will be forever grateful!!!
I currently have a 2016 caad12 105 10sp and it has been great to learn about cycling and to get a good base fitness. In 2019 I will be going for my first 70.3 and full distance so have been advised by many to get a tt bike now so I can get used to the position to make it a worthwhile investment. At my LBS they are getting all their new 2019 versions in so I can grab (what I hope is) a great price.
Because of this I can either take the 2017 colour Felt IA16 105 at 2250 euros or the 2018 Cervelo P3 ultegra mechanical at 2500 euros.
I know the cervelo fits already as I had a fit when it was full price but couldn't bring myself to spend the money. They have both possible sizes in the IA also so let's presume they both fit. Races and training is a combination of hills and flats as well as really windy and super calm so I guess it's an all rounder I'm looking for!
What would you experienced folk recommend and are those prices good?! Or should I just stick to my caad for first long season.
Thanks in advance and happy racing!
