Which bike for entry level road bike?
Hi! I'm between these two bikes. Specialized Dolce or Liv Avail 3. I'm 5'5 so both are in my size.
I do not own a road bike currently but I'm looking for something to use primarily on paved trails / roads / sidewalks. There might be some quick gravel transitions between but primarily paved surfaces.
Which bike is going to be more comfortable and enjoyable in the long run?
my pros for the Specialized - cheaper / more aesthetically pleasing
cons - older, would likely need new tires / tune up
pros for Liv - designed by women for women, newer
cons for liv - ugly lol
The specialized would be $200 but it's a discontinued model, while the Liv would be $400
Thank you!
