Ridgeback Flight T3 vs. Genesis Day 01
These 2 bikes are very similar (especially as they come from the same manufacturer).
They have identical geometries, but come with slightly different component setups.
My riding is city (Tokyo) riding/commuting, no big hills, the occasional slope, but nothing major. I love to ride as fast as possible.
I am leaning towards the Genesis Day because of it's double crank and short arm rear derailleur, but the Flight T3's triple could be more flexible and it's RS10 wheels are perhaps better than the WH-R500's of the Genesis.
If you have any opinions on these 2 bikes I would be greatly appreciative.
