rudi-h Posted July 24, 2012 Share IMO if you're a MTB'er, then all road bikes are fast. And in the price range your'e looking at you can buy something really decent last time I checked. Don't worry about specs, get the best looking bike, no matter what you get you'll be crazy fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted July 24, 2012 Share Both the Prisma and CR1 are "comfort" frames, designed to give you a more comfortable, upright riding position as opposed to a forward leaning racy riding position. This is a good thing for 98% of us who ride road. I would choose the BH for no reason other than it's uniqueness. There are plenty of Scotts on the road, but not many BH's, although the Elite wheels are so much better. Also consider that Solomons are selling the Bianchi 928 with Campag Centaur for R17 000.

Tubehunter Posted July 24, 2012 Share CR1 FTW! You'll want to use the other 2K towards supplementing the other goodies, like some decent road shoes, proper spandex bibs with full zip shirt and decent lightweight road helmet! Wont be long thereafter and you'll start thinking of some carbon wheels. Get clinchers when you do! You'll enjoy the specific training you can do on the road and it compliments your fitness for the mountainbiking! Your first ride in anger on the road bike after riding the mtb will be memorable for the rolling resistance aspect alone! Your ass will complain a little for a day after though. Enjoy!

crasher Posted July 24, 2012 Share Thanks so much guys for all the great input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crasher Posted July 25, 2012 Share Got the Scott it was just such a good deal and bang for the buck no one could touch it. With pedals weighs 7.535 kgs and had a quick spin and goes like a rocket Will do a nice long ride on Saturday then should have a better impression of the bike. Never had anything to compare it to but the Ultegra really shifts and feels nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
