Baked Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Please hubbers help me out with some advice:I have been checking out secondhand road bikes for a while and found one now which I think might be the one. But since I don't have a sound knowledge about road bikes I am obviously worried that I might be either paying to much or up with a bike that is not completely suitable for my needs. It is a Cannondale Supersix Evo 3 (Ultegra), 2014, and I can get it for 20k. Will spend about 2 more to get a few things replaced. I want to use it for training 2 - 3 times during the week on the trainer or road (weekends are for the MTB) and do 1 to 2 races a month. Oh and I am a lady - do I rather have to opt for a women's specific? Or is that purely personal choice?Any advice would be much appreciated!
Brickleberry Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 There are a few different levels of supersix bikes avaliable , hi mod is better carbon, but a decent supersix 2014 with full ultegra sounds like a good deal. What wheels are on it?

What wheels are on it?Mavic Aksium (I think these are the original wheels the bike came out with).
Eugene Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 That's a bargain for a 2014 model with Ultegra. If the condition is good, I would take it if I was you. Don't worry too much about a woman specific. You can easily swap out a few parts that it make it pretty close to a woman specific. In fact most woman specific bikes are mens bikes with a girly paint job, shorter stem, narrower bars and a wider saddle
Iwan Kemp Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Maybe have a look at the deals Swift Carbon is running at the moment. Their full carbon Attack with 105 is selling for R20k (down from R29k) which is a MASSIVE bargain for a brand new bike. Link below http://swiftcarbon.com/za/product/attack-shimano-105/
Brickleberry Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 The swift carbon is without a doubt a great deal. I love swift bikes and they the only things that make me consider an upgrade from my TCR advanced SL .
Patchelicious Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 The Evo sounds like a good deal. Do you have some pics, and or a link to the advert?
