Thanks for info

Nice predicament that you are sitting with.!

First consideration is Mechanical vs Electronic I suppose.

The Giant looks like good value.

But the Venge is a fantastic bike too.

What wheels on the Venge.?

Agree with Scotty.

 

The Silverback is SUPERB value, at about 27k.

Speak to Nick or Pieter at Cycle Factory, they deliver nationwide. Really decent blokes, I'm fairly sure the website listed price can be reduced. Silverback's after-sales service and warranty is priceless. Local is lekker afterall.

Drat.

 

Reduce your budget (theoretically), tell them the 27k is burning a hole in your pocket and you're about to pull the trigger on a 2014 deal elsewhere. The 2014 Scalera3 is a sweetheart.

You thought about a Scott Foil or surely you're starting to stray into Giant Propel territory with that amount of coin?

 

I can't fault the TCR. I love mine and every time I think of changing I ride it and ask 'why?' it does everything I need and does it bloody well.

 

The Venge, that's one I'd like to try and see what the deal is. honestly though I might be tempted with a Foil 15. Di2 and all that jazz for R37K before haggling.
