TheRev Posted May 21, 2008 Share I am looking at two frames, size is about the same, give or take 5mm.The one is a 2008 Merida Road Lite 905 (race) and the other is a 2006 RC 8000. Both going for R2000(SAR)What are your opinions, which is better value for money and which is the better frame? Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFishy Posted May 22, 2008 Share It all depends on what you want. Light? Flashy Add a thousand or 2 and get more options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted May 22, 2008 Share my wife gave better advice than you lot, and she said "stay in bed- problem solved." I have tried to find the weights, but to no avail, have been told that the Raleigh is really light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domestiquehated Posted May 22, 2008 Share Instead of just looking, how about actually weighing? All things being equal, the Merida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
