I will be buying a new road bike in the next 2 weeks for my birthday so it needs to be new - no ebay!
I have a budget of around £500 but could max out at £550 with nothing left for pedals !
I would like a carbon fork with a triple chainset due to hillly area and have narrowed my choice down to either a Merida 901-27 (£478) or a Specialized Allez 24 (£530)
The Merida is on offer with no pedals (£35 extra) but the Allez dealer will throw in some spd-sl pedals for free so there is only a fiver in it.
Both fit me well and I understand the Allez uses 2300 set compared to the slightly better Sora ? I gather some people have problems with loose spoke on the Allez.
Does anyone have an opinion either way ?
Thanks in advance.
