I have been looking at road bikes for the last couple of weeks and now have the opportunity to buy one...I have a bit of a conundrum though...

I can buy a sub 200 mile Specialized Allez 2010 for £400, or I can buy a brand spanking new Triban 5a for £430...the Triban has full Sora, and I believe the Allez has 2300 - however the Allez being an easily upgradable frame and all...

Then there is colour, the Allez is white and beautiful, the Triban is Dark and stealth like...

Help!!! I want both!!!

    Easy - you want an Allez ... but not that one ... you want a RED one - they're faster ... I should know I've got one (that I'm selling! ;) )

    If I wanted red (I dislike red) I'd get a Triban 3 and save ££££££££££££££!
