I'm just sad mine has the horrifically ugly Tiagra chainset! Good job I can't see it when I'm riding it...
I've never thought the Tiagra chainset is ugly... I always thought it was quite neat!

What was the 'dead' feeling bike?Well, at any rate I've paid the deposit for it.
Just goes to show the importance of a test ride. Of the two bikes I tried this was heavier and lower spec, but it felt bang on whereas the other felt dead by comparison.
Just seems strange to go for the one you didn't like just because it's lighter/better spec.I came to the decision that the other bike was better, and I had not given it enough time. Can't find a better spec for the money and so I've ordered it and tailored the fit.

Most often heard advice is to test ride and see which 'feels' best.
Sounds to me like you're trying to convince yourself there
If you were just going to get the lightest/best specced then why even bother with the test ride?
Not saying it's a bad choice, just trying to understand it
Why even get a new bike at all, if none of them felt as engaging as your current bike.
For me i ride the bike that makes me feel more at one with it. Seems to me it doesnt matter which bike you tested, you are at one more with the steel bike
Odd really
