Silverback Sirelli 2 - Good Buy or Not

[Veebee]

Hi All.

 

I am looking at changing my bikes from an Aero frame to something more comfortable as I am doing longer rides and the Aero is starting to feel too hard on my body.

 

I have been looking at the Silverback Sirelli 2 which looks like great value for money but as I am not too clued up with specs can someone share their knowledge and let me know if this is a good buy for +/- R35k ? If not, what else can you suggest in this price range.

I really like the look of the Sirelli and its is very reasonably specc'ed. If you look at most bikes in the 35k price range it is specc'ed very similarly. So if you like the look of it I'd say go for it. I was looking at getting it un until about 2 weeks ago when I got a great deal on a build rather. Also look at the Scott Addict 20, Swift Ultra-Vox RS1 and the offerings from Trek and Cube. Cube Agree SL is a pretty good looking bike, same specs but around 33k I think.
