Moda Prima or Moda Vivo - Please Help First bike
Hi All,
I'm searching for my first road bike and my choices are Moda vivo or Moda Prima
As i research Prima is currently on sale http://www.rutlandcycling.com/110365/products/moda-prima-2014-road-bike.... which is quite cheaper but Vivo is an upgrade of Prima.
I am not sure which of those two is better, does anyone know? And should i go for Moda or others brand like Speacialized, Cannondale or Trekk, Scott. My budget is under 1500 .
Thanks so much!

Radar tells me their closing speed, if they are slowing and how far away. Then I decide to say a prayer. The change of light pattern is incidental.

Quite so, which is why our village 20mph zone covers the whole residential extent. Of course, enforcement is another thing..

No, that's very doubtful while proper testing would be fully destructive.

In that £1000 exactly scenario, beginners should probably be made aware that pedals will be extra.

I have a 2013 Moda Prima and I love it. It's very comfortable with great handling and very light.
As far as upgrades, I've changed the brakes for Shimano 105 with Koolstop pads - mostly to match the groupset, but I was slighlty disappointed with the brake performance when compared to my old Felt F75 that had 105 as standard. I also swapped the cassette for an 11-28 due to my gravity allergy
I suggest, first upgrade, get some Koolstop pads in there and see how you go.
The Kenda tyres are awesome, even at 120psi they're comfortable, compliant and grip like hell. I've only had a couple of punctures in 2,000km which is fewer than I expected.
The wheels look great, reasonably light and are tough as old boots too.
Go for it you won't be disappointed.
What he said. Would also suggest a carbon seatpost (eBay, £30 for chinese non-brand, still good and absorbant), and maybe 25c tyres. Your barse will thank you.
For the money, you get a reasonable frame with great wheels. The rest you can upgrade. Go for it.
thanks for ur comment. could you suggest me what should i spend on upgrade first?
