Eastieman Posted October 4, 2020 Share Hey Guys, Thinking about buying this https://ridecabal.com/aero-1-rim-force-22.html . Anyone had any experience on this bike or would recommend something different ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrankShaft Posted October 4, 2020 Share Giant tcr.. Awesome machine. If you can find a tarmac sl6 pro with ultegra that's another good choice. Sorry don't know much about cabal Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas_187 Posted October 4, 2020 Share I would also say Giant TCR. For 50k there are so many great bikes in the classifieds.https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/road-bikes/401231/scott-foil-10-disc-di2 Edited October 4, 2020 by Andreas_187 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted October 5, 2020 Share https://bike-addict.co.za/products/titan-valerian-pro-2020 Carbon bike, 12mm front and rear, carbon tubeless wheels, hydro brakes, multi user warranty..... For 42k the Titan Valerian Pro has it all. I would buy one before I bought anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy Posted October 5, 2020 Share The best Roadbike in that price range is certainly a secondhand super bike. Keep your eyes on the Hub Marketplace. you will buy something much, much better that the Cabal. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane_Bosch Posted October 5, 2020 Share Hey Guys, Thinking about buying this https://ridecabal.com/aero-1-rim-force-22.html . Anyone had any experience on this bike or would recommend something different ? Thanks Does that Cabal make you fizz? 50k buys you a VERY nice bike. IMO there's no need to trawl the classifieds for a 2nd hander. 50k for that swanky spray job and carbon wheels. Shu. I'm not sure you could do better for the money. I see them around but they are not exactly a common sight. I've not ridden one but from what I understand the bikes are open mold frames. So basically there's a factory in the east that manufactures frames and a bike brand (in this case Cabal) essentially picks the frame out of a catalog. That aero frame has the look of a BMC time machine to me. I don't think you'll feel embarrassed pulling up at bootleggers with one of those badboys. For 50k you're getting a Spez Tarmac with 105 and no carbon wheels. Or a Scott Addict Disc with Ultegra but sans carbon wheels. Brand new. TickVery few on the road. TickSwish spray job. TickCarbon wheels. TickThe only downside I see is no disc brakes but that's not a huge downside IMO.

mecheng89 Posted October 5, 2020 Share There is a Cannondale Supersix in the classifieds. If I had 50K to spend, I'd get that. It has everything I want from my next superbike. Wayne pudding Mol and Pure Savage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veebee Posted October 5, 2020 Share @ 50K budget, there's really no need to buy second hand.Get that shiny new bike you want... The Titan shared above is great value for money.You can get a TCR also but you will have heavy alloy wheels with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veebee Posted October 5, 2020 Share I see there's no stock, but this is also a great bike at 50k https://eastcitycycles.com/products/cannondale-super6-evo-ultegra-barbeque?variant=33498551681155 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_ Posted October 5, 2020 Share Does that Cabal make you fizz? .... This above is my answer too. I don't know Cabal so can't help there. I also don't see a lot around, which makes it quite appealing to me solely on exclusivity. 50k will buy you a boss second hand bike. But thats also a lot of money to take a (probably small) gamble on. I'd probably go new. For me, brand, shape and looks first. You want to be desperate to ride every time you walk past it. Wheels you'll eventually replace regardless. Disk brakes, electronic whatnot is merely a nice to have. Wayne pudding Mol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FondTF2 Posted October 5, 2020 Share I would also go something unique. Love the different paint options on the Cabal and will definitely stand out amongst the multitude of Spez's etc. Wayne pudding Mol and Duane_Bosch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted October 5, 2020 Share Unique is great, but if you have 150k to spend. You will 'usually' get way more bike for buck with a known brand. I also used to think that boutique was best, bling was rad bla bla.... Now I honestly just want a plain bike that isn't a tank, is cost effective and works. I am getting seriously boring in my old age, but how my bike rides and my fitness is way more important to me than how swank or pikey bling my bike is. If I had 50k I would actually buy one of those Cinelli Tig Nemo frames from CRC with some carbon Prime wheels and an 11 speed hydro groupset. I have all the rest I could slap on. It would be a 7.5kg bike all in and be as comfortable as a sofa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetplant Posted October 5, 2020 Share If I could spend that amount of money on a bike, I'd go full custom:https://www.calculus-bikes.com/?pgid=k8hc3zjf-fcdefd40-084d-4cf5-9ef7-43679500dbea (Don't think R50k will quite cut it in this specific instance, but you get my drift) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyKilfoil Posted October 5, 2020 Share I bought my Cannondale SuperSix Evo in February and it was R48,999 at the time, Carbon wheels, mechanical Ultegra, disc brakes and a brilliant frame plus a warranty. It's a great bike! Duane_Bosch, Veebee, Mopkop and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
