Hi there,

 

Another noob seeking advice, looking at starting things on the road, entry level stuff.

 

Looking at getting a felt f95 team issue, with the special they got going or

a Raleigh rc3000 carbon.

 

The raleigh is a 2008 model, but brand new, 2 grand more than the felt thou.

noob, have you tried the bikes ?

 

I mean what kinda riding do you want to do ?

 

and the biggie - are you an UPGRADE junkie, always wanting more ?

I would say buy a Specialized.

Havent tried the bikes, never been on a road bike before! Been doing mtb for about 2years. Thought id give road riding a go, not stopping with the mtb!

 

Im not really a upgrade junkie, on my felt Q920 mtb I havent changed a thing.

how much cash you want to spend, and would it bother you if you got a second hand bike ?

Cash, big problem! Shop that i buy from lets me pay it off in 3 months, Dankie oom jan!

 

I dont know about the second hand route, coz im such a novice, scared i might buy something totally worthless because its got a made in italy sticker on it!
