Jbr Posted June 28, 2022 Share I wouldn’t go for the trek as in disc it’s a super heavy set up. When I was looking in the end it was between the aeroad, the timemachine and the reacto. I also liked the orbea aero bike. Are you looking more for an aero or a lightweight bike ? If I had your budget I would have taken the BMC because it’s a damn sexy bike. I took the reacto and I must say it is fantastic, I upgraded what I could to make it lighter than my previous TCR adv pro 0. As far as I’m concerned it’s a faster bike than the Giant up, down and obviously also on the flat. The best spec one must really be something with the advanced composite frame and the dura ace parts.

Thomo Posted June 29, 2022 Share Top end bikes are all likely to compare favourably. Get the one that excites you most.! I'm sure many Hubbers wish that they had your problems. 🤣 Sid the Sloth, ChrisF, BigDL and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopkop Posted June 29, 2022 Share 10 hours ago, Sid the Sloth said: From one Sid to another... Storck Aerfast 4. That frame is rapid and fairly light for an aero bike. I am biased but I love that thing. And it is within your budget. Tell them Dan sent you. Also if you don't like the green get it stripped and resprayed, can probably do it within your budget if you chat to them, or send me a message and I would be more than happy to help (I would appreciate the opportunity). https://cycling-friends.com/shop/storck-aerfast3/68-203-aerfast4-pro-disc-dura-ace-di2-2x12.html#/3-size-l https://bikerumor.com/storck-aerfast4-aero-road-bike-pushes-uci-limits-plus-new-fascenario4-more/ I recently had a look at the Storck range, Cycling friends was at the last wp league race and no where did I see a UCI sticker. Not that it means much but is it UCI approved? @Sidmouth That Merida offers the best bang for buck for its spec. Goodluck with the purchase!

DJuice Posted June 29, 2022 Share Is Wilier still in SA? 0 SLR could be an option or perhaps Filante in Ultegra spec Personally would go with Superleggera, the name sounds HOT! Enough shopping with someone else bossi. Was nice to day dream. Buy the bike that excites you.
