lukeram Posted August 17, 2014 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean Posted August 17, 2014 Share Replace the rims. You'll do it later anyway. lukeram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeram Posted August 17, 2014 Share To be honest - want it for the frame - "future proof" or at least a season or two Components I can upgrade as it goes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted August 17, 2014 Share They're both good bikes The Propel has the edge: Aero bike with sleek linesAesthetically coolWins races with Kittel :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeram Posted August 17, 2014 Share My thoughts too... Anything else worth considering in that range (£1900) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean Posted August 17, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
