Whats better....avanti blade series or giant crx series? |
I currently have a giant peleton road bike and want to downgrade to a flat bar. Its to do a bit of excercise, brissie to bays, mall to malls. and pull a kids bike trailer behind. What do u recommend? Both of these brands have a good selection in each range. Giant released its 2008 range a fortnight ago so there are some 2007 models still available. I doubt you would be unhappy with either brand. Giant offer women specific models in the crx 2 and crx4 models. The difference is shorter cranks wider saddle and shorter stem. (and colour) Avanti will probably do these changes also. So here is what I would recommend. Work out what component level you want. How far how often and the type of riding. (I went for the nexus 8 system for my wife Blade 8 or crx city.) Work out your budget Narrow down the selection to one or two models in each brand Visit both dealers and play one against the other for best posible deal. I found floor stock pretty terrible in flat bars. I was able to work out the right size though.(Yes I live in south east Queensland). If they happen to have the model that your after see if you can take it for a spin. I recently when through the this exercise for my wife. she admits to being "hopeless with the gears" so we went with the nexus 8 speed hub. This is also a low maintanence rig. WE settled with the 2007 crx city pro after a toing and froing with the blade 8. Both where good bikes but the deal on the giant was just a little better. Wife is out riding it at the moment. I should be out with her but the three month old is a bit young for the trailer yet. |
