Hi Alｌ,

I am new to cycling and would like to purchase a road bike as a present for myself. If you will be given a chance to pick one bike between the 08 Pinarello FP2 or 08 Cannondale Six13 - 5, which one will you choose?

Please help me.

Here are the comparisons.

君の英語が上手ですね。
僕も日本に住んでいます。
同じ自転車を考えて、悩んだりしてる。
フェルトのf４は乗ったことあるんですが。
なんとかこぐ時前に進む感じしなくて、よりしっかりしてるフレームを目指してる。
このフォーラムに書いてから選択はどうなったんですか。
誰も返事してくれなくて残念ですが。

Translation of above:
So you must be in Japan, I'm also thinking of those two brands.
Been searching for something more stiff than the Felt F4 I've had a chance to ride.
Let me know how your search is going, we're both in Jp...

Hi there! Yes, I am currently residing in Meguro-ku in Tokyo. How about you?

Regarding the bike, unfortunately, I didn't get any of those 2 bikes. I purchased a Look 555 in Yellow and white decals. I love it and currently upgrading my handlebar and stem.

Hi there
sorry for the late reply,
I'm in Osaka. Used to live in Tokyo.
I'm pretty much going with the six13 as I'd like a stable rear triangle
for races, hillclimbs etc. The fp2 seems ok but I can't test ride it (not uncommon in Jp)
plus some of the most components don't seem all that great which means it's junk after I get the bike. A look would seem nice but way too expensive for my needs perhaps. Did you test ride any other bikes before your purchase?
