Two bikes... Entry Level

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I posted this in the bike buying advice thread, and it is receicing the views, but not replies.... So I thought maybe people may actually decide to reply here... :p

I have been looking for a road bike and have come down to two... I'll use them for a small amount of road racing and maybe some triathlons. Went to two bike shops and was recommended the Silverback Cleveland (http://www.cyclingforums.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=211)and the Raleigh RC2000. (http://www.raleigh.co.za/bikes.php?rangeid=10&bikeid=14&year=2007#range)

Which one would you recommend over the other? Why? Are there limits on the upgrades you can perform on the bikes?

Thanks in advance.
