Thinking of a new bike

[Bike Chick]

They both look like great bikes. It just depends on what you want in components and what kind of riding you do. Do you have a lot of hills? Do you ride centuries?

I'm not as knowledgeable as the majority of ladies here but imo you've made an excellent decision to go with steel, but that's my personal choice. The Haole is more upright and would be a more comfortable ride than you were used to with your Felt and it has the better components, however, it has a standard double crank which would be a big change from your triple. The Vigorelli looks to be more aggressive which is similar to your Felt with lesser components but has a compact double crank, which would be an easier switch from your triple. What issues do you have with your Felt? I would look for a bike that would correct whatever you don't like about it.

It sounds like you are leaning toward the Haole, which is your first choice anyway. I would suggest test riding the Vigorelli and keep looking for a Haole to test ride, then decide.
