Kuota Kebel

[geo]

Hi, Some advice needed please guys,after weeks of window shopping I have narrowed my search down to the Kuota Kebel or Pinarello FP2 both with Ultegra kit on them. The question is which one ?? I like the look of both bikes but if I'm honest prefer the Kebel but dont know enough about either bike to make a knowledgeable decision. Can anybody offer any advice. Many thanks

Geo

I don't have any experience of the Kebel, but I do have a Kuota Kharma - one model down from the Kebel. I think geometry-wise the Kebel and the Kharma are quite similar though. My Kharma has Shimano 105.

Are you planning on racing or is it for general riding? FWIW I race on my Kharma, but I've also done some very long days in the saddle (numerous 300km rides last year in preparation for a 4 and 1/2 day unsupported LEJOG). Its nice and stiff for racing, but comfortable for long days. Couldn't really ask for more.

I'm actually considering a getting a Kebel with SRAM Force or Red next year if I can get it past the accountant.

Hi and thanks for the reply,no intention to race,just planning general fitness and once maybe twice a week doing the 86 mile round trip to work,based on your Kharma it sounds like I'm looking in the right direction with the Kebel.
