SlOW Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Hi All Looking for some feedback on some frames Im looking at and cant decide on which one, roughly same price and all have good reviews. Specialized - sl2 tarmac proCannondale - supersixOrbea - OrcaCervelo - Soliost or R3Gaint - TCR Advance ispKuota - Kredo I ride sv, weigh 67kg, and prefer a climbing oriented set up. Wight is not the deciding factor for me.Any constructive thoughts appreciated.
Subfree Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I Tried the soloist and alhough it was fast it was a very uncomfortable ride. I ended up buying a Specialized Tarmac pro and I Loooove it, very quick, looks the part and comfy. That after I've been a Cannondale man for years. Good luck
turtlek Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Kuota is an awesome bike but the after sales service is *** here in sa the soloist is a fast unforgiving ride and the R3 is a fast yet comfy ride Cannondale is an awesome bike just the price is a bit hefty compared to some of the others dont know much about the others i have not ridden them
rock Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I haven't ridden any of them - but I'd say its wse to buy a Giant - but cosider the ISP for future reselling......otherwise the Specialized is a winner.
Christie Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I agree with the Kuota statement - wont recommend themOut of your list, I would rate them: 1. R3 & Tarmac (both highly rated in reviews)2. Super6 & Soloist (I've ridden both, very nice frames. I rate them in 2nd place because they are both heavier than the #1s)3. Orca 4. TCR (i dont like isps) So see if you can test ride the R3 & Tarmac, try figure out which geometry suits you best. Cervelo has a lifetime warranty, dont know what the warranty is on Specialized.
MTB0007 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I'm selling a RALEIGH RC6000 ...Italian co DEDACCIAI & RALEIGH teamed up to design and build this beauty... Seling for a song
Weekend_Warrior Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 a guy that i sometimes cycle with has bought a Specialized after breaking to Cervelo frames and he weights about 65 kg
SlOW Posted July 13, 2008 Author Posted July 13, 2008 thank you all. Did consider Scott, but no stock in small till sept.
specialized Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 well he did the right thing, he bought the sl2 i guess.
specialized Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 what a great add displaying the sl2 by paulo bettini
SlOW Posted July 14, 2008 Author Posted July 14, 2008 Gone with the Specialized Tarmac Sl2. 20 to 25 % less than all the other ones mentioned.tThanks for the input.
