whats the difference

[stephen.rooke]

are there any differences between these 2 bikes, only thing i can see different is the colour, all the specs seem to be the same but the virtuoso used to be priced higher than the tdf

The original prices are always inflated, I wouldn't pay attention to that. I doubt they'd sell a bike for £500 for more than 1 day a decade!

Otherwise, I'm not sure if there's any real difference, except for the colour. Best is to go and check them both out and see if there's any real difference.

As far as i can tell the TDF has points to mount a rack although its hard to tell by the picture and it has bigger chaintings at the front for a slightly higher gear ratio.The virtuoso has a compact chainring which is better if your new to cycling or live in a hilly area.
As for the prices as comic says ignore any "discounts " as they are just fluff as the bikes are permantly on "sale " and are priced about right.My Halfords bike came on sale , went up for about 1 month and has been permantly discounted to the original price ever since.
