Cippo Posted November 9, 2012 Share Cannondale caad 10 or Scott Cr1 pro/team And shop- finishline cycles Caad 10 or CR1is nice but what you really need is a Colnago C59 or M10 with minimum Campag Record or Super Record. 20 k will buy you some nice Assos kit with Sidi Ergo 3 shoes and a R2500-3000 helmet like Bell, Giro or Spez. For borrowing money to buy yr 80-100k bike check out the other threads on selling your soul to the bank or disposing of your house or car to fund your bike.

quintonb Posted November 9, 2012 Share Reall value for money would be a Silverback Space with Ultegra ±R17000.00 (Brilliant Backup Service)And the trusty Cannondale CAAD 10 (Bulletproof)Join a club close to you.
