Hi guys,

Been a lurker for a long time but first post and I'm looking for advice. I sold my hybrid and going to buy my first road bike. I've a choice of either a used Lapierre AUDACIO 400 or a nearly new Trek 1.1. Links to the bikes below.

I only use it for commuting (30k per day) but I was wondering what others would think is best?

Thanks

(PS love the forum)
 
Be sure to check the condition of the tires - if new opens are needed soon, last is an extra cost.

Also either bike will probably not be as comfortable as a hybrid. If you like to ride fairly hard that's fine.
