Mr MacPhisto Posted October 2, 2007 Share Hi Everyone I am in the process of getting a new bike and just wanted to check if I have by any chance missed something, that I should possibly look at. Basically I am asking if you had +/- 30 to 35K to spend on a new road bikeWhat would you get? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted October 2, 2007 Share What do you want to do with the bike? Hang it against the wall as a piece of art? Ride time trials? Ride down steep mountains? Play in the mud? Ride the Argus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdoardoBianchi Posted October 2, 2007 Share Forget about the price and ask: What is it that you want? At this price point you want to buy something that you can continue to throw a leg over. Once you know what that is, hunt down the options. It'll blow your budget, but R10k more on R30k for something you really want is better than R30k on something you kinda want. No, I don't have a bike shop. *wink* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaskar Posted October 2, 2007 Share What do you want to do with the bike? Hang it against the wall as a piece of art? Ride time trials? Ride down steep mountains? Play in the mud? Ride the Argus? I think Mr. Mac is looking at a top end full carbon road bike. Having raced with him in many races in the A and B bunches, i know he is fast, and is looking for something that will compliment his ability! Last time we spoke, i know he was looking at getting the Giant Team ISP , fitted with full 2007 Campag Chorus, so if anyone knows of equivalent bikes in that range and that that spec, please let him know.

widget Posted October 2, 2007 Share The best bike on the market is........................ ...................THE ONE YOU LIKE.!! Buy what tickles YOUR fancy, after all you will be the one riding it, not your mate, your uncle, your work bud, and nobody here......... its gonna be you and you alone - so, keep your hand firmly on your wallet and go look around, base your purchase on your criteria and dont worry what anybody else says.!!

Mr MacPhisto Posted October 2, 2007 Share I've considered almost all options,Not really interested in the Raleigh - nice spec on the new team bike but dont love the frame colour - and when spending that amount of $ it must be what you want Spending 10K more, and getting up to 30K is also not an option, I have managed to convince myself to spend that amount of money is worth it, so more is a no-no.

word Posted October 2, 2007 Share Try looking at the Specialized S-Works or the Tarmac (if you are race snake) - I am biased because I ride Specialized but they are awesome bikes. www.specialized.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
