Looking for a new road bike and would love to hear thought on these 2 bikes. They both have similar geometry, so I was wondering what advantage, if any, the AR has over the F. I'd appreciate any thoughts. Thanks

The AR is one of the most aerodynamic road bikes you can get, the F series is designed to be lighter. Either one is a great choice, but they are quite different. If you're looking for a bike that gives you maximum comfort and makes any mountain feel like a hill, the F3 is the choice. If you're looking for something that makes the best use of every watt and can absolutely fly, then the AR3 is the one.

Thanks for the response...I have a Blue Triad SP, so this would replace a road bike that I had stolen. The F3 may be the logical choice.

Although I just saw you're in FL… I would get the AR3 and get the advantage on the pancake flat terrain… I used to have an aero road bike in Naples (before I brought it back north again)

Does a degree or two difference between two frames(head and/or seat tube) really make that much of a difference when it comes to fit?
