It's 20.95lbs (or so it says here bike weight
like the colour scheme and good spec from a top brand
Not many sizes of that one left!
Coming from a MTB background, I always run the belief that V-brakes are rubbish whilst hydraulic disc is a much better option. Is this not a concern on road bikes, or does the reduced weight make it a non-issue?
They still use rim brakes in the pro peloton so I think you'll be fine! You'll only notice a difference in wet conditions
Looks an awesome bike. Just bought a 2011 Marin Mill Valley road/sport hybrid which i'm rather enjoying but gotta say this one is tempting!
these are caliper brakes, not v brakes but much the same really.
Disk brakes on road bikes are becoming more common and I can see the benefits in the wet (caliper brakes in the wet is an... errr.... 'interesting' experience!) but in the dry there is no need for disks.
The components on this one are a lot better, for example Shimamo Tiagra is a class higher than Sora, so you will get smoother shifting experience. It will come in handy when you need to stop and go in city traffic.
At this price point, the aluminium which is double butted - meaning thinning in the middle and thicker around the joints - would probably not materially different than carbon frame in weight. Road feel might vary a bit though, as carbon is generally considered "softer".
Overall, this one is probably a better deal.
The Marin is the better deal with Tiagra 10sp with better performance,if you want a slightly more relaxed upright riding position, Wiggle have the Felt Z85 HERE
Also take care to get the correct size its more important than the specs.
55.5 or 58. The 58 might feel a bit stretched out.
