Hello.
I contacted a seller of a Carrera Zelos bike today as it was advertised for £150, he still has the bike and I nearly bit the bullet and went for it. The bike in question is apparently in VGC.
A little about me, please excuse me...
I am over weight and keen to get back into road cycling, I am confident enough around traffic.
The bike I 'really' want is a Decathlon B'Twin Triban in stunning blue/black... I have set my heart on one of these and although cheap for a road bike (£330) it is still not cheap for someone on a budget.
In your opinion is the correct decision to save for the B'Twin or is the Carrera worth the money and will last me well?
I understand the Carrera has 14 gears and the B'Twin has 24 gears... when I last was into cycling my 'racer' had 10 gears.
I have so many questions regarding other things like locks, pumps etc... I apologise in advance.
