hi there
I'm new to the forum but not to cycling. spent many years speeding round the country side on my mountain bike but now want to buy a road bike as most my cycling now ends up on the road these days.
I wanted to ask experienced road cyclists about my two options buying a bike...either a brand new felt F95 with cheaper components or a second hand Boardman Team one year old but fairly good condition with better componects. I can get both for around the same price (500 - 600) but wondered what's better? I want one that will least me a while and also enter a few races next season on the road.
Felt F95 (MicroShift / sora) £500 aprox

Boardman Team (105's) RRP £1000

Any comments would be appreciated.
Cheers
