stringbean Posted June 28, 2022 Share Take the plunge and get the SL7.It really is an amazing bike.(I had the V3RS before and although been a great bike the relaxed head angle just didn’t work for me.)The SL7 just feels better in every way.

Sidmouth Posted June 28, 2022 Share Im sure the Trek is a great bike, But that whole hunchback look does not do it for me, just so oversize, all the elegance has gone DieselnDust and mikkelz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid the Sloth Posted June 28, 2022 Share 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/ Edited June 28, 2022 by Sid the Sloth added some info and pic craiganavi, bespokes and throttles 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
