please help me decide
Hi there,
I have done a lot of searchng around, looking for a road bike with decent specs for less than 3 grand. the choice is now between an azzuri forza elite with 105 all around and lifetime warranty on the carbon frame, vs the cell victor 2011 with ultegra all around but only 5 year warranty on the frame. both bikes look the same as far as the frame shape is concerned and they are the same price. I am worried about breaking the frame as I am 6 feet three inches and hundred kilos. I am planning on riding the bike for at least a hundred kms a week. has anyone got any of the two bikes I mentioned and how do they rate. I must mention that Cell people are saying to me no one has ever claimed on their frame warranty yet (which to me it sounds like bs, how can that be, I know for a fact that carbon frames do crack occasionally....) please help me, I will appreciate it. cheers dan |

Usual wisdom is get the best frame you can because you will be replacing components. So if the main difference is between 105 and Ultegra and both fit you then I'd say go the one you think has the better frame. Zebee |

I can not tell which one has the better frame. honestly, except for the paint job they both look exactly the same. I bet there were made in the same factory. the only diff is the life time warranty on one vs only 5 year warranty on the other one. does the extended warranty makes it a better frame ? dan |

Go for a ride on both. Which makes you happier? Which fits better? Buy that one. Tony F |
