choosing new bike

mattylad

How do people, I'm very.soon to b replacing my 2005 trek fuel 70 as I'm.spending more time.cycling.than on the motorbike just lately. The bikes I'm pondering over are.
2012 lapierre zesty 314
2012 trek fuel ex8
or if It was really worth it I.could.possibly stretch.to. orange.five pro 2012.
I keep talking myself in and out of them.all lol. Been to try them all for size and the.zesty felt the most comfortable slightly over the others.

Places I ride mostly are cannock,gisburn, and into.the peaks, possibly a trip.to the Alps on the.cards next year.

So any advice/ hands.on.experience with.the above bikes...? What would u choose??

Cheers

Giant Trance or Anthem are also worth a look.

If you have seen the Zesty, it fits well, then it would be the one I'd get.

What's this about orange.cracking?. That's the second time I've read that on this forum in 5 minutes, not good lol.
and that's.the most pricey.

Snap, crackle, pop....

Lappiere and Orange have sorted the issues....I would also look at Ghost and Cube as you get a lot more spec for your money and they are nice looking bikes....or jump on the Canyon bandwagon and get a super spec'd bike that is winning heaps of awards...
