Been riding a Ribble 7005 Tiagra for 9 yesrs now - its' starting to show it's age and I've started riding road more so fancy something new.
Been looking at Cube bikes as they seem good value for money. At around the £1200 mark there's the Agree GTC (Carbon fram and forks with 105 group set and Easton finishing kit) or for about £100 less there's the Peloton SL (Alu fram, carbon forks, Ultegra shifters and rear mech and cranks - same finishing kit)
What are the relative merits of a alu versus carbon frame at this price point,given the same finishing kit - the geometry is the same and it fits.
Or should I go for a Giant Defy 1 and buy a set of Hope Road Hoops with it?
I'm not after a sportive bike (whatever that means) in particular, but something that will do club runs, sprint tri's, TT's with tri bars fitted etc - a bit fo a do it all!
Cheers
