Help!!
I am all set to buy a new road bike after spending a year racing on an entry level road bike.
I have spec'd a Cannondale CAAD 5 with full Ultegra and American Classics 420 wheels for $1600
Now I have been reading quite a bit about the Cervelo Soloist. My LBS has the 2002 on sale for $1750 stock (Full Ultegra, Ritchey Wheels).
I will be mainly road racing and doing Crits with regular 2-3 hour training rides with an occasional TT that the State race series holds.
I have owned a C'dale in the past, and like the stiffness of the frame, and my current bike is all Aluminum/including the fork....so either choice will likely feel plush compared to the current ride.
My question for the experts is, what is the better deal, and what bike will be better all around for the various types of racing I hope to do....
Your thoughts/advice are appreciated
