Hello guys
Went to shopping just now and narrow down to this few bike
Avanti dr1 8k+
105 group
Harsh ride even harsher then foil in some review
Love the look of it
Scott foil 40 7k+
105
harsh ride
good aero design
Good price
Look not as cool as avanti
specializes tarmac sl3 8k+
Old model but within my budget
Ultegra
claims to be good carbon not entry lvl
less harsh ride with more relax position
at this point cant decide which one to go to. What do you guys think? Should i go more shops before making decision?
are you basing all this on reviews
carbon bikes are going to be inevitably harsh if you compare it to the best steel and Ti frames out there... it is a trade off but in the trade off...you gain efficient power transfer via a stiffer frame... and possibly lesser weight...
as for the 3 models... avanti, from a brand point of view is the one where there is most ??? over it in terms of brand sustainability... we know for sure scott and specialize won't go away but avanti has the chance of disappearing from the market if the shop selling it goes bust (which i know they won't lar, bikeplus have deep pockets)
the sl3 if s-works would be a great choice if priced at RM8k... the frame was last sold at something quite close to 5k? so, 3k left for an ultegra group + cockpit + wheel is kinda impossible to achieve...
at the end of the day... you have to consider other factors like... does it have the right size for you? do you like the bike itself (Aesthetically)? do you like dealing with the shop that sells it? my final choices would personally be between the scott and specialized (s-works or not).. for close to RM8k... no interest in an advanti...

Not sure which specs he just told me sl3 model with ultegra/carbon same as sl4, so i guess not sworks does it makes a big diffrent?
Wilier where can i see the bike?
s-works and normal spez has quite a bit of difference... in terms of weight, carbon layup affecting the stiffness and ride quality of the bike itself...
godzilla is just right behind gh speedbikes in kota damansara
