I have used two bikes since the age of 12 (exactly 40 years ago) a new Carlton racer (12th birthday present), then about 10 years ago, a second hand Raleigh Equipe, This was recently repaired, so will be Ok for a while yet.
However, just in case I decide to buy a new bike (the Allez 16 has always been my fancy) I asked while in the bike shop.
The only road bikes are from Dawes, which I know used to be (maybe still are) good for tourers.
The cheapest bike shown was the Giro 200, with the 300 next. It seems the only difference is the position of the gear shifters. Both my bikes have had the old fashioned levers on the down tube, so that's what i am used to.
A few questions.
How good is the 200 ?
Does the re-positioned shifters warrant the extra £100 ?
Is the Allez 16 still a better choice ?
thanks
