>>1980513Don't be so salty, baby legs. Absolutely nobody starts off as Quadzilla.
>merida speeder 500 and trek fx sport 5, ...are both silly. The FX sport 5 is a ridiculous spec designed for the completely clueless. Medium low end carbon frame. GRAVEL drivetrain.
The merida speeder is still flat bar road kind of stupid, but is far, far superior as far as drivetrain goes. AL frame CF fork. Ultegra mix.
>i mostly ride flats so in that regard the only benefit is hand positions, which would i can archieve with a narrow flat bar with bar ends as well.No.
