• Hi,

    I have an Aventon Mataro (pictured below) and I'd like to improve my ride quality. I ride it singlespeed. However, I was wondering whether it actually makes sense to upgrade the Mataro's components or just go with another, better bike altogether, a Cinelli Vigorelli Pista Aluminium.

    The Aventon I own has the following:
    • Frame: Aventon Mataro Double-Butted 6061 Aluminum Alloy
    • Fork: Aventon Carbon fork with alloy steerer
    • Stem: Aventon Push
    • Handlebar: Aventon Push OS Drop Bars (40cm wide)
    • Crankset: Aventon Push 48T (170mm arms)
    • Bottom Bracket: VP Sealed Bearing 103mm
    • Sprocket: 15t
    • FreeWheel: 16t
    • Wheelset: Aventon Push
    • Tyres: Kenda Kriterium 25c
    • Saddle: Aventon
    • Seatpost: Aventon Aero Carbon Seatpost
    • Brakes: Tektro

    If I were to update, I'd get the following, for a total of £660 (almost as much as I paid for the entire bike):
    • Tires: Continental Gator Hardshell
    • Wheelset: H + Son Archetype
    • Crankset: SRAM Omnium
    • Brakes: Shimano 105
    • Better pedals

    The Cinelli I'm looking at has the following spec ready built for £1250 (via SigmaSports):
    • Frame: Cinelli Columbus Airplane triple-butted alloy
    • Fork: Cinelli Columbus Pista Leggera 1 1/8" - 1 1/2"
    • Stem: Cinelli aluminium
    • Handlebar: Cinelli aluminium
    • Cassette: Miche Pista 1x
    • Crankset: Miche Pista Advanced 1x
    • Wheelset: Miche XPress
    • Tyres: Impac RacePac 700x25
    • Saddle: Cinelli Winged
    • Seatpost: Cinelli carbon

    What does make more sense: investing an extra £660 and getting the Mataro to a decent spec, or putting the Mataro out for sale and buying the Cinelli described above and in time maybe upgrade some of its components?

    I wouldn't want to invest in the Mataro if it's not worth it.

    Thanks!
