My confusion really is if I need to spend the extra £150/200 on the better bike at this stage. What difference will it make to me as a newbie road biker if I have a Trek 1.1 or a Eq00 between my legs.
I'm slightly dizzy in that I dont know why someone would recommend a Giant Defy 2 or Planet X RT-58 (as per another thread) over say a Trek 1.1.
Am I really going to notice the better gearing/spokes/rims/brakes/shifters etc. Surely they're all of a pretty good standard to be charge £600+ for a machine and im sure you experienced riders will be able to tell me the importance (please do btw), but to me does it matter as much or should I go for budget now and upgrade in time if I see fit (lets be honest by resale value given my purchase price will be awesome).
I realise I sound like a whiny so and so, but i've never spend this kind of cash on anything so even at a discount its a big scary decision..!
