I didn’t buy the bike you’ll all be relieved to hear.
I think I’ll just slowly upgrade a few bits and bobs on these two then. They both ride differently & the Edge is lighter.
Didn’t realise how heavy the Specialized was!
I’ll ride both as I like them.
If you got a 653 framed Edge for £40 then you got the deal of the decade - a wonderful frame indeed. They don't go for strong money but ride every bit as well as hand built exotica.
