Neither, get a Focus or a Boardman. Seriously.

hi blorg i sat on a trek 1.2/1.5/1.9 today and a torino today.

the torino was a lovely lite bike ,is there any where i can see the focus or boardman in the southeast .

what kind of money are you chatting about for a carbon bike in the two you have named with a good kit on it.

thanks jw

Both the carbon Boardman and the Focus Cayo 105 are ~£1,000 from Halfords and Wiggle respectively. The Boardman has a mostly SRAM rival groupset which is probably a bit better than Shimano 105. I had a Cayo before and it was a very nice bike. Planet X is also a good option if you can stretch the budget a bit, they have one at £1,000 with a mostly 105/Ultegra mix, an extra £100 if you want them to build it for you.

its a 58-60 cm i am looking for .
i have a price on the butler ,strada of a 1,000 euro .

I have never ridden one but Claud Butler don't really have a great reputation, especially not for road bikes. Someone else posted on here that in their opinion it was not a good bike.

BTW oflahero's point is reasonable, you will get better answers if you take the time to post more coherent questions. Regarding those two CB bikes 105 is better than Tiagra. Whether it is worth paying X where we don't know the value of X is another question.

Sure? Cos you spelt it wrong twice in the first post.
Either way, claud bu[lt][tl]er are very ordinary, and trading on an old 'good' name. Falcon cycles IIRC. Wouldn't touch them to be honest. Had a CB MTB for a couple of years, absolutely nothing special.

ednwireland · 27-07-2009, 21:27

are all these questions about claud butlers cos the bike shops are pushing them because of the lack of bikes ? haven't heard of them for years and suddenly evryones asking about them

kenmc · 27-07-2009, 21:28

yeah I'd imagine there's a sudden increase in the sound of scraping, and many more empty barrels.

thebouldwhacker · 27-07-2009, 21:43

Warming up in here......

anyone care to choose one?

jwshooter · 27-07-2009, 21:59

whats the pros and cons of the two bikes i mentioned ,im not into MTBs. Are all bike not just components on a frame.

so how good is the frame ?

blorg · 27-07-2009, 23:06

Quigs, whose opinion I would respect, reckons the frame is shíte. Rob Fowl, whose opinion I would also respect, reckons it is a brand steeped in history... This is true but the same would go for Raleigh, doesn't mean I would buy one now.
