Quite simply is it worth paying the extra £110 for the F85:

  • Yes it is in my opinion. I asked similar questions before i bought my f95. The general consensus is usually to spend what you can afford - if you have £600 in your bike budget then go for the 85. When i was getting mine the price difference was a little larger than that (around £180 differnce between the two models) so i went for the 95. The better wheels and slightly lighter frame as well an extra gear (not sure this helps) make it worth it.

    And also the most important factor to remember is colour. The shiny grey colour was much nicer for me then white. Although the blue did tempt me. :D

    And what about the Z95.?
    As an elder of 49 would that be better suited for me do you think?
