Spark Posted June 2, 2011 Share How many frame builders dare to give a lifetime warranty. Up to date I've ridden 2 Treks.Look 585 and 595 Ultra. 1 Battaglin. Colnago C40 and C50. Time VXRS Ulteam and now a Time RXRS Ulteam. All of them are great bikes. The Look is great. The C40 is the most comfortable of them all, although its a decade old. Time, is in my opinion the one with the edge and they give a lifetime warranty.

Lucky Luke. Posted June 2, 2011 Share Why not get a Pinarello and some change. Not a lot of change, but maybe enough to buy a coke? All depends what you are trying to achieve with your new fiets. Do you want to go as fast as humanly possible, or do you want to show everybody that you can spunk 100k on a push bike? If the answer is option B, you need a Pinarello, or maybe a gold-plated helmet. The weight penalty would be about the same. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/104045-most-desirable-road-bike/page/4/#findComment-1416896 Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted June 2, 2011 Share The question is not what is the best road bike - we all know deep down that is a Cannondale. The question is what is the second best road bike?

In 2003 (it won bike of the year that year) I used to look in the shop window of Sigma sport in the UK, and stare for what felt like hours at this bike. It really was a thing of beauty. With the funny diamond shape HP chainstays... :clap: Then came along the C50: Edited June 3, 2011 by StevieL Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/104045-most-desirable-road-bike/page/4/#findComment-1417100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
