Trek Madone 5.2 2008 v Giant TCR Advanced 2 2008.

Hello everybody. I'm a newbie here and would much appreciate some advice. My brother just bought a 2008 Kuota Kharma which has got me interested in push bikes. My last real bike was an Eddie Merkkx (please excuse spelling) when I was a kid 30 years ago. Am considering one of the above bikes and was looking for the best bang per buck with excellent build quality and performance. Any advice will be appreciated and thanks in advance.

    Since it sounds like you haven't done much riding, my advice would be to find out which is the shop in your area with the best reputation for road bikes. Go down there and get them to fit you. The best bike will be the one that fits you best and which you want to ride the most. Chatting to someone in person will also give you a bit of idea as to what you ideally want from a frame.
    All the bikes at that price are good and you won't get a duff. There is no "best". Asking here will just get a list of bikes that the poster fancies. At that sort of money, you must see the bikes in person and get it to fit right - that is the most important IMHO.
