still haven't decided which road bike to get yet but have noticed on a couple ive got my eye on ie. defy 4 and caad8 the shimano 2300 is replaced by Claris on the 2014 model , is this a better option worth a bit more saving or is there not a big difference ?
thanks from a newbie
You should be able to find reviews of 2300 vs Claris on bike radar. Personally I'd save a bit more and go for 2013 Sora without the thumb button, just seems like unnecessary clutter!
CAAD8 is designed as quite a sporty bike so imho this groupset maybe doesn't fit so well. An example of a manufacturer just getting something on the bike to hit a pricepoint?
Costly upgrade if you want to have 10 speed at some stage. Maybe save the pennies and pay more at the outset?
