Indeed. What sort of weight would be acceptable if that’s a main criteria? It’s a difficult time to buy and sell used bikes, so if in a hurry to get something, new might be a better optionOk, well that is why i said I would listen to other options.

There are a lot of aluminium frame bikes that are very light as well. The Cannondale CAAD bikes are very light. I think Alu is a more forgiving ride than carbon. I have a carbon road bike in my workshop. It is my least ridden bike as the others are more comfortable.Just feel that's what I should get as its lighter.

Have you scoured eBay and gumtree locally too as you’re not going to be able to travel to buy?I dont really know, I'm coming back to road bikes. So was thinking to get a decent frame with ok drive train and stuff, which can then be upgraded over time. So would like to buy 2nd hand as you get more for your money.
