I am looking to get a good road bike sometime soon and want to know which would be the best for me. I am fifteen and want to start cycling for the FIRST time. I have been shopping around and found these two bikes in my area, Las Vegas, that I really like and fit my budget$650.
At REI there is a 2010 scott speedster s50 http://www.rei.com/product/797352 It is being sold for $609
The second is a 2008 LeMond Etape http://www.bikepedia.com/quickbike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=2008&Brand=LeMond&Model=Etape&Type=bike This bike is at a local bike shop near downtown and they are selling it for $630.
I would like to know which of the two bikes is better. Both of them fit great because i had them adjusted to my size by the guys at the stores, but i just dont know which is going to ultimately be the better bike. Thank you for your answers and any other information would be greatly appreciated.
