Hi all,
I'm new here and I'm looking to purchase a new bike. I'm very small (4'10) and was sized at my LBS and interested in a Giant Lust 2 or 1. When I search there is a lot of positive buzz about the Giant lineup for women which I'm pleased. I don't know a ton about components, suspension, brakes, etc and when talking with the LBS they said either would work well for my riding style.
Will I notice a difference between the two bikes? The LBS said the suspension is very similar as well as the brakes and components. The tires and saddle are the major differences. I would upgrade to tubeless on either bike.
Should I spend a bit more and get the tubeless ready tires on the Lust 1 or save to upgrade the Lust 2 to tubeless wheels? Will I then just break even? I know the cost of tires can be expensive.
Thanks for your help!!!
