Which bike

[superb]

Hi guys!

Question...which bike to buy for about the same price?

1. new Scott Foil 30 2016, Shimano 105
2. little used Scott Solace Premium 2014, Shimano DA Di2


Foil
+ new
+ nice look
- Tektro brakes

Solace
+ Di2
- used

What would you buy?

Literally spent the past 3 minutes typing sarcastic replies and deleting them

...And I still do not know what to buy.

p.s.
this will be 3rd bike...will be used only in bad weather. I do not care if it is aero or endurance geometry. Both ca 2.200 usd.

What version of Di2?

I mean honestly, as good as 105's have become with the 5800, anything Di2 is just that much nicer.
That being said, I'd probably be a little hesitant on the 10 speed 6770 and absolutely avoid the initial Dura-Ace version (7970) as it used different cables that aren't compatible with anything else. But if it's Ultegra 6870 or DA 9070, it's a keeper.

Shimano 105 5800
Shimano DA 9070

I'd get 9070 in a flash over 5800 (who wouldn't? ). It'll work better, looks better if you set it up nicely, and i'd imagine it'll be better in the rain/winter with no cables to get gunged up.

Plus for bad weather you can put mudguards and stuff easier on a solace, so the solace gets my vote aswell.

I’ve got some like new 5800 takeoff levers/calipers if you decide to go that way.

Nm, it’s a full bike.

[DurianGrey]

I'd pick up the older / nicer one, but I hate paying for depreciation. Plus you likely have more room to bargain used

For what you want to do the Solace makes 100 times more sense.

[Mr.Gib]

As above a Foil makes zero sense as a bad weather bike. With the Solace you will at least have room to run bigger tires and/or mount fenders

[TonyM]

For your use in bad weather the Solace!!
