Cell Lapa 2.0 v Apollo Volare

Postby edsaloman » Sat Apr 19, 2014 5:32 pm

Hey

Looking to get an entry level road bike for commuting, with a view to doing some more proper road-biking etc in the future (perhaps).

Am looking at the sub $900 (AUD) range and so far have come up with the Cell Lapa 2.0 or the Apollo Volare.

Has anyone got any recommendations/suggestions between these two?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers!

I would usually say "have you had a look at the Reid Falco Elite for $830 odd", but after looking at this thread/article, I'd say just maybe the Lapa!

But really, you need to get fit and ride them both to get a real idea what works for you.

Good luck.

Ps I'd avoid the Apollo Volare if its the 8 speed Claris version. But on paper the Lapa 2.0 looks good on special for $899 and reading the above review.

Yeah, the Lapa looks like a real good poackage, and gets a decent review too, definitely worth a look. Nice looking bike too.

Avoid the Apollo, anything is better :)

Awesome!

Thanks very much for the feedback - the LAPA seems to be getting consistently better reviews from what I've read online/ heard offline.

Cheers guys!
