I'm on the Fence about Selling my Giant La Free E+1
First off I must say I absolutely Love & Respect my Giant La Free E+1 !
(I have extolled it's virtues in other posts).
The Quality, Price, Reliability, and hardly any Service required thanks to Carbon Belt, and No derailleur.
The only reason I am beating myself up about this is that I truly believe it is an excellent "Bird in Hand" (the grass isn't necessarily greener on the other side ).
The Bike I'm considering is Evelo's New Omega.
Considerations:
Way more power (as needed).
I have a few hills I would prefer not to pedal as hard on.
Throttle (as needed).
Having had a Motorcycle background, I have always respected the added security of a Throttle, especially from full stop at intersection.
Equal, if not Better Quality
The hard to swallow part....
Twice the Price.
4k -ish vs 2k-ish
Last concern is How hard might it be to Sell the Giant ? (in Extremely Excellent Condition, with aprox 1000 babied neighborhood miles on it).
If anyone here has an opinion and or advice, I am all ears.............
