New road bike

Vladtheimpaler

Hi all.

I am getting a new road bike and seem to have a straight choice between last years Orbea Onyx Vuelta and this years Cube Streamer. Both are priced the same.
The Orbea has an all carbon frame and the Streamer is aluminuim but both work out the same weight.
The Orbea has a Tiagra 9 speed group and the Streamer a superior Ultegra SL.
Also considered the Trek 1.9 which is a little more.
I want the bike for training and am getting into mid range triathlons.
Any advice?
Thanks

If the weight is the same prob go for the Ultegra groupset. Having said that I would go for the Carbon Orbeca ( I like CARBON ). Looks like a nice bike and you could always upgrade the groupset.

Go for the one that (for you...) feels best to ride

I've got an Onix and I love it to bits. I might be bias but don't forget groupsets wear out, frames don't so buy the best frame you can afford as you can always upgrade later.
The Onix has a frame that comes out of the same mold as the original Orca so it feels more like a pukka racer if thats the sort of thing you're looking for.
