    which one do I choose?

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I tested two bikes (after test riding total of 5) and both are really comfortable, geat fit!
    One is a (owner says 2008 but I think its a 2007 if I search on the internet, but i will post a link) Cannondale Synapse Feminine 4. The other one is in the colour I love, white! Its a Giant Avail 2.
    I believe they are quite similar as far it goes for components.
    The biggest difference is the price and colour. The cannondale is priced for 800 Can.dolllars. Its a brand new bike in blue, just was not picked up by customer. The Giant is 1270 Can. dollars
    It will be my first road bike. Am going to do a long distance (two day) ride and maybe riding with a club. Maybe racing, but I dont know yet. What do I choose?

    +1 When all else is equal regarding the fit and handling, I agree-go with the one that sings to you, as long as the extra cost is not going to be a budget-breaker for you. You'll ride the bike you love and it will pay for itself. (Theoretically, anyway.)
