Don't buy new. Buy second hand and you can get something like this: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/308546-bianchi-sempre/

 

Just use the search function in the road bike classifieds to filer to your size and price range.

I am a fan of buying 2nd hand.

 

Carbon Road bike=R10k-R12k

Bike Fit=R1500

Power meter=R5k

Smart indoor trainer=R5k

 

You are sorted for sub-3s all over the place!

Merida another bang for buck brand

2018 Giant TCR disc. Retail is 26.

Brand new.

Warranty.

2018 geometry

105 groupset

 

That's what I would do. You can also probably get the shop to include a bikefit for you if you ask nicely.

Dragons import giant. They will have stock. Speak to bike addict. They will deliver if need be.

Awesome bike, I ride a similar one at the moment so I'm a bit biased - hydraulic discs are the bomb . If you are new to cycling/don't know too much about bikes then I would rather buy a new bike from a trusted local bike shop that can do a bike fit and help you with proper sizing and set-up. They will also often throw in a free-service after 4-6 weeks to do any fine tuning as the cables stretch out etc.

2nd hand will generally get you better bang for you buck.

Needs a bit of patience sometimes and you need to be able to spot the odd lemon too.

Disc rather scarce though if that's your preference.

The best "Carbon" road bike in that price range is a Cannondale Caad12

Scott :-). I would also suggest checking with the dealers for old stock if it’s a new bike you looking for. Towards beginning of last year I picked up a brand new Scott Addict with predominantly 105 components at a heavily discounted price.
