specialized or genesis

[russ]

ok so I have the option of a specialized diverge expert carbon or a genesis datum 30 ,just don't tell the missus !
I like the genesis for being a bit different and it comes with di2 whereas the specialized is ultegra.
question is which is the better frame , could my learned colleagues on here help ?

I can't speak about the Genesis as I've never rode one before but the Diverge is a fantastic bike. I've currently got the aluminium framed A1 Sport model that's been upgraded to an Ultegra groupset and I love it.
A friend of mine has the Carbon Expert model and he thinks it's great too, He's certainly not slow on it either.

There was a pretty informative thread about them here a while back.

ah but I can get the genesis datum with di2 for the same money as the diverge which comes with normal ultegra....
