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.
