Hello!
I'm in the process of buying a bike for both day-to-day use in the city, and to go from time to time to work (15 km there, 15 km back). And also to make some short trips with a couple of saddlebags through rural areas. Essentially I have reduced the search to two models, one more expensive than the other. I want to know to what extent it's worth betting on the most expensive model.
- (A) Kona Dew Deluxe for about 490 (plus a piece to change the handlebar stem and go more ergonomic), total about 520 : https://2019.konaworld.com/dew_deluxe.cfm
- (B) Ortler-Mainau (which costs about EUR 315): https://www.bikester.co.uk/ortler-maina ... 85945.html
In principle I think that both will resolve my needs but I have looked for two representative bikes of two different price ranges.
Can they be worth to pay the extra 180 £ for the Kona?
Thank you!
