Friedpiggy Posted June 19, 2016 Share I am looking at buying a new road bike and am interested in what the general consensus is on the best offering in the 20 to 30 thousand Rand point is. Requirements are as follows. Full carbon 11 speed 105 or higher groupset Good after sales service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robo Posted June 19, 2016 Share I would look at second hand. Road bikes does not take that much beating. Just make sure it is in good nic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddy Posted June 19, 2016 Share If you want a new bike rather than second hand, nothing in that price range beats CAAD 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friedpiggy Posted June 19, 2016 Share Problem with secondhand is that I need a 60cm frame and they are very scarce. Looking at the Scott CR1 20. Looks like a fairly decent bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted June 19, 2016 Share CR1 has offered good value for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robo Posted June 19, 2016 Share Maybe switch to high jumping if you need 60cm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat2forLife Posted June 19, 2016 Share Second hand bikes have no warranty. Insurance does not cover manufacturing defects on a second hand frame. And besides, nothing beats the feeling of picking up your brand spanking new bike! For that kin of money you've got quite a few options. Specialized Tarmac Sport Giant TCR Advanced 2 Merida Scultura 4000 Cannondale SuperSix Evo 5 The Cannondale is my favourite out of those four. I'm sure there are still lots of cool bikes in that price range I'm forgetting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy Posted June 19, 2016 Share Rather go for carbonTo each his own, but at that price you will not get a top of the range carbon frame. The CAAD will outperform a carbon frame at the same price point. It truly is an exceptional frame, not just an exceptional Aluminium one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrightJnr Posted June 19, 2016 Share CAAD 12 Ali is only 300g heavier than its carbon counterpart as per an article in the latest RIDE mag. I'd go CAAD 12 without a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
