    Seems a decent bike from the reviews. If it takes your fancy and you get a good deal why not ?

    It will be quite a different bike.
    I went from a Pro Carbon to a Px Maratona (frame change only) and it highlighted to me how pliant the Pro Carbon is. I felt somewhat beaten up until I fitted 28 tyres and ran them at lower pressure.
    I've not ridden the ec130 but I would think it has a much stiffer frame and, if you are sensitive like me :-), you will feel it.
