Help me decide...

Hi all

I've narrowed down my choice to 2 bikes but can't decide on colour now (yes, the big issues I face). I was originally set on the blue but now the black and white is growing on me...thoughts?

Not sure if it's the country I'm in but your links just take me to a general Focus page not the specified bikes.

What model were you looking at?

[mogwaiboi]

Oh sorry Fixie82. I'm looking at the Focus Cayo Ultegra mechanical vs Force 22 models.

Cool - I guessing you have no preference between Shimano and SRAM?

[mogwaiboi]

I have both groupsets on other bikes, although my Tarmac is old 10 speed Force. I actually prefer the smaller hoods of SRAM, I like the positive engagement when shifting, and the idea of not having to trim with the YAW dérailleur is appealing as I'm pretty careless about cross-chaining. 6800 is good but a little slick and quiet for my liking. I think it's more about the frame as the way I see it I can always sell the 6800 and put Force on it at some stage. I had a good look at the Force Cayo today and I must say I'm not sure about the brown markings on the frame and the AG2R on the seat stays though...

If this purchase plan is to buy and ride for a few years then change / upgrade then the black and white model will have better / easier re-sale.
