Recently got a used hybrid bike and have been riding it a lot, want to get a road bike and keep the hybrid for commuting. Should I get a used road bike to learn how to work on it and then get a good bike or just go out for the good bike straight away?
Regardless of what option I choose, I'm thinking of getting a chinese carbon frameset and chinese groupset as I've seen good reviews for them and they are seemingly of good value. Framesets are around $400 and the Sensah Empire 2x11 group is only around $250 with many having said it's comparable to 105. I think building a bike from scratch would be a good opportunity for learning, but don't want to waste my time and money if getting a complete bike is a better option. Anyone have experience with chinese parts? Also would appreciate tips for a begginer like me.
