    Looking at biting the bullet and finally investing in a tt bike having made great use out of my felt road bike for some time now and am torn between the following two. Having done some research on various websites there seems to be differing degrees of though on the two bikes below. I am looking at going for either the 2011 Felt B12 or the Planet X Pro Carbon Dura Ace. Just looking for advice from those of you that know more that I do on the specs and what you feel is better value for money. The specs are as follows:

    Both bikes are in and around the same price. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
