Hi guys,

Getting my (1st) new road bike, looking at the following bikes:

1/ Scott Speedster s40 (1000e)
2/ Lapierre Audacio 400 (920e)

Gonna be using it mainly for fitness riding, as well as the odd triathlon. Gonna be using the bike2work also.

The advantage of the Scott is that it looks better. The advantages of the Lapierre is that it's 80quid cheaper, and I don't have to go down the country to buy one (dont think anywhere in Dublin sells Scott).

Im after writing down some of the groupset specs below.

I was looking at the Felt F95 2010 Garmin edition, but at nearly 1kg heavier, I think I'll rule it out despite it's nice looks!

Any opinions on the 2 bikes?

Thanks
