so after waiting forever for my C2W voucher to turn up it's finally here.
I was ready to go into Evans and get a 2012 CAADX 105 but within the past 2 days they have sold out.
so now i'm looking at this years dales.
either the CAADX sora for 800, leaving my 200 to get some pedals and some other bits for it.
or the CAADX tiagra for 950, leaving me 50 quid to get some pedals.
first of all, am i going to notice the difference between the 2 in standard form? i'm not going to be racing it, just using it as a winter commutercross machine, and could I get the sora riding nicer by spending the extra money i'd be saving on it?
are there any other bikes i should be looking at? preferably from evans as all the other bike shops round here will just try and sell me a dawes hybrid.
