First Road bike


NinerZero

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

 

I'm a MTB guy, but doing a lot of road lately and want to add a road bike into the mix. Budget would be around R10k for now, can I get anything good for that price, considering 2nd hand, and what would be the best spec I can get in that price range?

 

Also, what are the main factors to look out for when buying 2nd hand, any risks involved in guys trying their luck?

 

Your help would be great,

 

Thanks,

5800 105 is great before that not as much. For 10 k now , I would want a decent frame with 105 10 speed at least . Many good deals to be had on here . Or have a look at the new silverback I think they have a model for 10k that looks nice

10k should be enough to pick up a very nice Aluminum bike with 105 group set, cannondale make some very nice alu bikes. At 10k second hand you should definitely get something with a full 105 spec, the new (5800) 105 is basically same as previous model Ultegra
