edited March 2014 in Road buying advice
As a step up from my 2013 Triban 5, I am considering between a Canyon Roadlite AL 7.0 and Rose Pro-SL 3000
Very similar price, spec and weight.
Will be used for weekend fitness rides of 30-60 miles and occasional sportive.
Any views on which is best / most suitable?
Which is the best retailer?
Thanks

    Rose will let you spec most components. Canyon will change the stem and cassette.

    As mentioned, I don't think you can go wrong with either as long as you know 100% what size you need. I was very close to ordering a Roadlite Al 7.0 last year but couldn't decide which size to get and didn't want the faff of returning it if it was too big/small.
