Tjommies Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Can anyone tell me the difference between the two? Thanks
Tjommies Posted October 17, 2007 Author Posted October 17, 2007 Thanks, maar hoe verskil hulle? Are they lighter, better etc.
Mudsimus Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Cranks got external bearings, shifters got a bulky look with gear indicator.
NotSoBigBen Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Is Tiagra still only 9 speed? Has the price gone up relative to the 'coolness'? In fact will Tiagra ever be cool?
pererace70 Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 I had an Raleigh RC 3000 and think that Tiagra was pretty good considering its price.
Tjommies Posted October 17, 2007 Author Posted October 17, 2007 I've been cycling for about 4 yrs, so I reckon I'm still a bit of a rookie. Currently got a Raleigh RC3000 and want to upgrade. I've been doing ok in PPA rides recently (seeded K). some of the bikes I've looked at has the New Tiagra. I've been told I should probably go for 105, but just want to make sure I cover all bases.
NotSoBigBen Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 pererace70 - I used to train with a Tiagra groupset on my GT for 2 years till a week ago. No problems! Works well, isn't cool but does work! Only trained in the dark with it

If you get the tiagra bike you'll be in for a another upgrade soon.
NC_lurker Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Agree with Mud Dee.No point upgrading unless you're getting something much better.Rather ride your RC3000 for slightly longer, save a bit more & then get something really worthwhile.
Tjommies Posted October 17, 2007 Author Posted October 17, 2007 Thanks you okes!I'm learning that I can always count on getting good advice on the hub.
Jean-Jay Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 hi tjommies, which tjommie are you?, i know of a few. Ishmail jappie and Andrew Arendse
andrewbell Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Go for the 105... Whenever i replace a bike will look at one with a better groupset.
Tjommies Posted October 17, 2007 Author Posted October 17, 2007 I'm one of the newbies. Joined only about a year ago and the Tjommies brand has had a new lease on life. The guys you are mentioning are way before my time
