Dream Roadie Frame


Patchelicious

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, best day ever!!

 

The wife has finally given me permission to buy a new road bike frame!!

 

Currently have a Spez Tarmac Pro SL4 that has accumulated 16000kms in the last 24 months.

 

If you could have any high end frame, what would it be?

 

Currently these are on the radar:

 

Colnago C60

Cannondale supersix Evo Team

Canyon Aeroad

Giant Propel

Focus Izalco

Swift Ultravox

Maybe Tarmac Sworks

 

Any and all comments welcome......

Focus/swift on the same page

 

I'd be way too careful with the C60

 

The giant is just a giant

 

S-works.....Everyones got one

Colnago

Cannondale

Canyon

I really like the look of the Canyon but I'm the kind of person that likes to rest ride a bike before I spend my hard earned money. If you can somehow get to ride a Canyon and you like it... Buy it.

Add the new Scott to your list as well, though not available just yet

Yeah saw the new Foil, bit of a Look wannabe?

 

Best way to get your hands on the Canyon?

 

Find someone travelling to Europe and have it shipped to their hotel.

 

Canyon no longer ship to SA.

Everyone is going the standard carbon route. What about looking a little outside the box and going with ti?

 

My dream bike - a hand crafted Moots Vamoots RSL

 

(But then I think you'd need to mortgage your house for a frame)

Wait for the 2016 stuff to arrive. There are some awesome machines in the way. Trek has a new aero Madone, Specialized has a new Venge and Merida has a new Scultura.

 

My personal favourite though is the BH G6.

 

Canyon is awesome but what about the warranty? They don't ship to SA. If something goes wrong it will be a major schlep trying to sort out a claim with an overseas manufacturer that doesn't post to SA.

Got some of my guys traveling to London next week. If they bring it back as luggage is there any duties?

 

The way it's done is that you go over to London with a cheap bike in a bike box (because 'you're going on a bike tour'). 

 

Then you leave that cheapo there and come back with the new one in your bike box. 

 

But you didn't hear it from me  :whistling:
