Would you sell this ^ to buy this?
With a 70mm x 35 degree stem I made the Max work (after a fashion) and it's also a good road bike, but on the face of it the Sonic is a better TT bike and if I was to HTFU, my 531 do-it-all could er... do all I need to to do: the Max just makes a lot it much more fun.
After a long, work-free Winter I'm pretty much starting from scratch and given my limited (physical and financial) ability, being able to dual-purpose the Max is an appealing option.
On the other hand, I have nothing to lose by going balls-first with a dedicated TT frame (apparently I'm not getting younger) and just getting on with the rest using the 531: train and race on the TT/commute and Audax on the 531.
As ever @mdcc_tester and @umop3pisdn are welcome to the party...
