Im down to 2 bikes felt Ar5 or planet x pro carbon sram Rival if I were to get this I would upgrade to their 80 /100 wheelset. But wouldn't for Ar5. I will use my bike for for club spins/races and solo solo training with long distances and hills. Any advice?

    They look quite different bikes. I am afraid I would have to resort to the perennial advice

    "The one which is most comfortable"

    I do wonder how comfortable the AR5 would be over longer distance. If you arent a seasoned roadie then surely this is an issue. Having said that the Felt looks much better in my opinion. Planet x are great value but I find it hard to get over excited about them.

    Cheers for that. I wont be buying till new year. Planetx seem good value. Ive seen a rt58 ultraegra build which is under 16lb which im pretty tempted also. Too many options
