Hi
Narrowed down my choice of next road bike to one of these 2 through cycle to work scheme.
They are both the exact same price (£1099) but I am struggling to see if there is any real world differences between the two. Does it just come down to choice of colour? The Fastroad 2 is the newer model (grey in pic)

The only difference I see is the bottom bracket which on one is threaded vs cartridge. It is not clear that it is actually different. Threaded cartridge bottom brackets or pressed cartridge bottom brackets are common. It seems odd that they would change this in a minor year update. To the user this does not matter. So the main difference is the color.
