2011 Trek Speed Concept 7.5 vs new Boardman 9.0 ATT
Quote | Reply
Hi.

I've recently purchased a used 2011 Trek Speed Concept 7.5, at a bargain price, which I love. The groupset is 9-speed Ultegra, and needs updating - it's very worn. I'm thinking of changing it to 11 speed Campy, to match my Bianchi road bike and make my wheels interchangeable.

Question is, is it worth throwing money at the Trek (about £300 in total for a used upgrade) or go for a Boardman Air TT 9.0, which I can get new (£100 per month) from the cycle-to-work scheme with my job.

Upgrade the Trek or get the Boardman - what would you do?

Thanks,

Ozzie

The -only- reasons I'd go for the boardman is:

1. If you simply are in the mood for something new
2. There is something physically wrong with the trek and thus needs to be retired

Otherwise the trek is a way better bike IMHO, more aero, better storage. Use the saved money to other things, wheels, new trisuit, etc etc
