TheWolfofLiberty Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Good day Hubbers Looking at purchasing a new road bike for myself. I will be honest I am new to the cycling scene and I have been told that I should ask away here on thehubsa for some assistance, as there is no greater opinion than that riders like yourselves. I have given myself a R20k budget for a bike, might be alot for a novice cyclist, but I am one to spend to get a decent product which will last me a few 1000kms. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated, Send me some names of bikes what you would suggest
Butterbean Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I would get a Scott foil with shimano 105, for that kinda budget... Have a couple of k left over for a proper bike fitting and the essentials! arendoog, TK-Sp3cialiSt, TheWolfofLiberty and 1 other 4
TheWolfofLiberty Posted April 29, 2014 Author Posted April 29, 2014 Thanks a lot AfdElite, will look into right now
TheWolfofLiberty Posted April 29, 2014 Author Posted April 29, 2014 How important is a proper bike fitting?
TheWolfofLiberty Posted April 29, 2014 Author Posted April 29, 2014 Looking at the scott website, they offer a few Scott Foils? 10,20,50
knopbroek Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 My own experience is that incorrect bike setup can ruin your cycling experience, no matter how fancy the bike. If you are in Jhb I recommend Mike from SBR in Sunninghill.

knopbroek Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 If you shop around you should be able to get a decent enough carbon frame with Shimano 105 components for R20K. I am told carbon generally gives a more comfortable ride than aluminium but can't vouch for that.
TheWolfofLiberty Posted April 29, 2014 Author Posted April 29, 2014 Was looking into the giant tcr 1 comp, what do you think?
dev null Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I would definitely look at a Cannondale CAAD 10 with 105. eddy and Wez-O 2
