Best price for Ultegra and Wheels

[grellboy]

Saw a bike earlier, just trying to find link, but it is carbon frame with full Ultegra and Ultegra wheels, would be about £1250 with BC discount. Bargain?

With a lot of shopping around and taking advantage of various offers I got a full Ultegra group set and wheels for £600 last year. Keep in mind if buying a bike or a groupset deal the chainset arm length and ring sizes and cassette size are what you want.

It's impossible to say if the complete bike is a bargain without knowing what it is. Not all frames and finishing kit are the same.

Sounds ok if it's the right bike. But not all carbon frames are the same

Sounds like the 2014/5 Boardman pro SLR that halfords have on offer. Only a few available
though and instore only

 

[grellboy]

Yeah, that's the one. Looks good and fab spec.

 

[gareth01244]

I know, wish they had one in my size

Maybe consider one of last years bike or even one from 2014. You can probably get a giant defy composite 1 for that money which has ultegra

Maybe a modus ruberto (if that's the correct spelling) also has full ultegra

I wish my wife was not so sharp on spotting new bike stuff and bills, they have my size

 

[grellboy]

That's the real bummer isn't it. There's only so many times you can get away with telling the missus...."New bike? No, that's just an old one I found in the garage and cleaned up!"

 

[cyberknight]

Think she would notice the difference? ( note since this piccie i have lost the roundels , changed the wheels, saddle and carbon seatpost/stem

When a bike is listed as having Ultegra kit, make sure it is the full Ultegra groupset - many bikes may have just some Ultegra parts mixed in with other cheaper components. Even the lovely 2014 Giant Defy Composite 1 comes with non-Ultegra brakes (BR561).

 

[Shanksy]

Not true as my 2014 giant day composite 1 does have ultegra brakes on it

Mine didn't come with Ultegra brakes anyway, neither did another one I saw a few months ago out and about...
