Nalyd18 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Nalyd .... if you asking an opinion on buying the KTM or keeping your current bike you should be a bit more clear. Ideally this should be in the classifieds - but I see where you are going with this ... Okay understood then I would like an opinion on whether I should sell my bike inorder to buy a 2010 KTM Strada 3000 with Ultegra, Alu frame and Carbon fork and Aksyium wheels?

TNT1 Posted August 19, 2011 Share but I see where you are going with this ... A 300 page "should I buy it, shouldn't I buy it" thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalyd18 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Price on the Katoom? R8000+/- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT1 Posted August 19, 2011 Share R8000+/- So if you break even, you'll roll yours. Ok, fair enough. You wont get a hell of a lot more bike though. The only real benefit will be the wheels, and rather save and get something if that's the case. New Ultegra vs your existing 105? Meh. Apart from looking better, not much. Your 105 is bullet proof. And as with any used buy, you don't really as in 100% know what you're getting. Maybe better the devil you know, save up and do some upgrades?

Slowbee Posted August 19, 2011 Share I am with TNT on this ..... why are you itching for an upgrade ? Rather save some cash and upgrade bits on your current frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalyd18 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Maybe better the devil you know, save up and do some upgrades? Yeah I'll consider upgrading thats always an option, although new ultegra groupsets can set you back. Thats ultimately what I would like an ultegra groupset on my frame, but I just don't see this deal ever coming round again. And I have the option to test ride the bike which I will do.

baie-sukkel Posted August 19, 2011 Share My gosh, I sold this bike to you(your dad) with less than 50km's on,it also have a Easton EC90 carbon wingbar fitted to it. I can't remember what I sold it for at the time but if you do a search on my previous post, you find it there. Nice bike !

busch1 Posted August 19, 2011 Share I think you can get between R7000 and R8000 for it, but upgrading the bike could be a better option. The groupset is good, upgrading the wheels or frame first will be the best place to start check out frames on the hub around 3k to 5k there are some good ones out there Eg: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/9126-schwinn-peloton-comp-frame-was-r4500-now-r3500/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busch1 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Oh and thats just the first frame I came across if you look there are probably a few out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as you can see I have a bit of a dillema on my hands That's a great bike, and what TNT1 said is very true,maybe a lighter and better wheelset will make you feel better, but to think you going to be anything REALLY better off by spending cash ...............
