frame or wheels (dilemma)

Postby ninjanoir78 » Mon Mar 01, 2010 11:26 am

Hi, okay... I already have a caad 9 bb30 bike ( SI hollogram crank) with fulcrum racing one..

for this summer I have some cash to put in the ''bicycle world'' so for the same amount I can buy a brand new system six liquigas frame and fork or mavic cosmic carbone SL...

so if I buy the frame, I would have my caad +S6 and I will use my fulcrum one on both.
if I buy the cosmic I will have fulcrum one and cosmic carbone wheels to use with my caad 9

what do you think..... better with 2 set of wheels (one all around and one more aero) or 2 good cannondale bikes?? (and I already have a used sram red groupo to put on the liquigas frame)

thanks

Try writing down a list of pro's/con's for each option.

No-one on here knows your motivation for cycling, so it's pretty much impossible for people to give you advice.
I ride, therefore I am. But don't ride into harm's way.

As someone who decided two bikes are better than one, I find that I just about always just stick to the one bike, and the other stays in the shed.

Two sets of wheels may be the go, one for training, one for racing.

either you're getting a bargain on the frame or ripped off on the wheels :?:
