As some of you will know I've signed up for my first 100 mile sportive. I'm currently training on a used Felt AR5 54inch 105 groupset which I'm finding no matter what I try to adjust I just cant seem to feel comfortable on it.
So the thought of spending 5-6hrs on an uncomfortable bike has led me to decide I need to get a bike that suits me and to get this setup by someone that knows what their doing.
So the question is this, do I purchase a new bike (currently looking at a Trek Madone SL6 H2) with Shimano Ultregra Groupset or do I look on ebay and pick up a used bike with either DI2, ETAP, EPS fitted and the get either bike setup for afterwards?
The ebay option concerns me a little in case of frame damage or groupset wear and tear as both can be expensive to fix
