Good and bad reasons for both: Ashton: Looks a beast, apprently it rides real nice, its stiff and red looks the dogs. BUT LOADS of people have them now, and are coming out of stock quite quickly and costs more than the Aorta Aorta: Looks brillaint as well, its cheaper and hardly anybody has it at the moment! BUT Its silver and everyone has silver frames, doesnt look as good as the ashton, and only comes in silver I would have the Ashton in red any day mate! Go for it!
