200%totally confused about which bike to buy

[Bigtallfatbloke]

thanks!



Of the three bikes I think this one looks the best (the one in the pic is actually a different spec to the veloce kitted bike I bought but it shows the celest on a c2c 2008 frame ). The Kinesis is superb and I really wanted that...but it isnt possible to sit on one of those bike yet and the frame builder didnt answer one question I aske dhim which was...why is your alu carb frame better than the way cheaper Bianchi alu carb frame? That niggled me.
The Orbea is a superb bike, but I am unsure if I am ready for a full carbon bike yet & I have forum posts from riders who have cracked carbon frames and they ar enot happy bunnies. Besides I am never going to race.


....now then How do I get the brookes off my galaxy onto the Bianchi?

Phew! It was really beginning to stress me out that.

This thread was nothing. Just wait till BTFB starts a new one along the lines of "I'm 200% confused about all the adjustments I could be making to my new bike".

By the end of that one you'll be really stressed

He's DONE IT !


Good bye and BTFB !

BTFB !

It's been quite a journey and I think it's very interesting that you have effectively come full circle and gone for your first lust love.

Thanks for sharing all your thoughts, doubts, insecurities etc etc etc with us .... and your successful final (PLEASE !) decision.

Looking at the 3 pics, I reckon the Orbea is eye-catching, in-your-face-racey (Seat GTI type); the Kinesis understated comfort cruiser (Jag XK); and the Bianchi drop dead gorgeous (Maseratti). I stroked a Bianchi once - the owner was not too surprised I asked !

Well done on making your decision and many happy miles to you both. No doubt we'll be reading ALL about them here.
