Which Deal - Help me decide

kingrollo

I have decided on a kuota kharma for next bike - just in a bit of a dilema which deal should I choose:-

Deal 1
not local - the website states £1499 (the rrp)for a standard build - but when I asked the price with an upgrade of wheels to reynolds solitude - I am quoted £1489 (seems to good to be true - as the reynolds wheels cost £350)

Deal 2
local ish - shop will invite me in once bike is half built - I sit on a turbo trainer - and they sort other measurements ans set up pedals etc. with an upgrade to xero lite xr210 £1650

stuff to consider
1.I have a bio racer profile from a few years back - and know the frame size I want.

2.But I do get a fair few injuries, and have back and knee problems

I think the extra £1600 is worth it to get the right fit and set up personally. Yes you can go down the online route but you won't get the service it sounds like you need.

The prices in Deal 1 sound a little suspect, or their online calculator isn't working correctly.

Difference in price is very little, not worth the risk... go local

In two moths time you'll need a service, cables to be stretched, gears to be tuned etc... your shop will do it for free, if you buy on-line you'll need to pay for that
