I am on the cusp of buying a new bike and am on the horns of a dilema.

I have a budget of £1500, but can't decide which way to go.

Would you ...

£1500 Bike

£1100 Bike & £400 Wheel Upgrade

I was going to get the bike stock and upgrade the wheels later, but am not sure I'll have the money for a long time.

    Hi there.

    Depends on whether you're going to do any events. If you are, then option 2 will enable you to train on the wheels that came with the £1100 bike and save the good wheels for race day - or just sunny days in the hills.

    For £1100 you should be able to get a half decent frame equipped with 105 - or equivalent. You can then upgrades bits as they wear out.

    Cheers, Andy
