Hi everyone
I know, it's yet another which bike thread, but I'm willing to get flamed and hopefully get some good advice as well!
I'm a novice to cycling, been doing it for about 8 months on a bike which is a too big for me. I'm a weekend warrior, going out with my mates for 40-60 mile rides. We've entered a few sportives, but don't do anything serious.
I'm 5'10" - 5'11".
I want to get a nice bike, which will be a better fit for me. I've narrowed it down to the following 2 bikes:
1. 56" Trek Madone 5.9 2012 model di2 -http://archive.trekbikes.com/us/en/...12/Trek/madone_5_9_h2_compact_uk_2012/details
2. 54" Focus Cayo evo 2.0 2012 model di2 -http://www.bikeradar.com/road/gear/...duct/review-focus-cayo-evo-2-0-udi2-12-46278/
They're both in good condition, unfortunately they're both about 4hrs drive from me!
Both bikes are priced at about £1100.
Assuming all things are equal, which bike would you choose and why?
Thanks for all advice and apologies for yet another what bike thread.
