lukeram Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Hi hubbers Am torn - looking at a giant propel advanced 3 or a felt ar5? Leaning towards the giant because it reads excellently, but the reviews are not keen on the rims... What are your thoughts?
Butterbean Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Replace the rims. You'll do it later anyway. lukeram 1

lukeram Posted August 17, 2014 Author Posted August 17, 2014 To be honest - want it for the frame - "future proof" or at least a season or two Components I can upgrade as it goes...
'Dale Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 They're both good bikes The Propel has the edge: Aero bike with sleek linesAesthetically coolWins races with Kittel :-)
lukeram Posted August 17, 2014 Author Posted August 17, 2014 My thoughts too... Anything else worth considering in that range (£1900)
Butterbean Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Scott foil makes me all fuzzy. By for those specs and price range, you have a ton of choice. But the one that makes you happy. Parts and bits can (and will) be replaced anyway, so if it comes down to paint, buy the one that you smile very time you look at it.

Rob K Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Saw this at The Lost City Classic this weekend. Really looked good in the flesh - don't think you can go wrong. Let us know what you decide?
lukeram Posted August 30, 2014 Author Posted August 30, 2014 Ok so now considering building a bike! The above choices vs a time xrxs vs a Ridley Noah Ultra 2012?
