I bought a Trek because that is what my LBS sold in my price range. I'd like to move up to Di2 and I'm looking at these bikes. The price makes the Caledonia very attractive. I'm pretty new to cycling and not all that knowledge about the different brands. Any thoughts are appreciated.
gotta take the parts out of the equation because you can always change groups , but look at the frame and proprietary systems used , which one is easier to service or get parts for , which bottom bracket will give you the easier time installing and maintaining , look for any real tests done on the frames the stiffness , the aero , they are both adventure bikes i think so its really going to be about what you want to live with , hambini has reemed cervelo pretty good , i dont know his thoughts on trek but im sure they are not too great !!
