2k on a bike

[e-rider]

For that money carbon club rides and maybe the odd sportive and general riding

sounds like you don't need to spend anywhere near 2k for this kind of riding - but of course, nothing to stop you!

Haha, too true, though tell that to the guys who own beautiful and fast cars. I am guessing they don't buy them to take to track days every weekend.
If you are going to spend a lot of time on the bike, and are in to cycling, then get the bike that your budget allows and also the one that will make you the happiest when you saddle up.

This is a nice looking bike for under 2k with DuraAce - I don't know if anyone else sells Vitus, but they always review very well http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=70371

Hi vickster that's a really nice bike too my heads all over the place lol love the canyon but hate the idea of no uk customer service

 

[vickster]

Doesn't sound like Canyon have much stock of the 2012s either from redcard's 1k bike post

I think you need a day off work and a proper shopping trip

Do you have a shortlist yet?

Vitus were an old French manufacturer famous for their aluminium frames that CRC took the name of for their in house brand. Sean Kelly famously rode them first time round and he was involved in the design for these too. In case you were wondering, like.

Cant get a list lol people keep listing new bikes all the time

 

[vickster]

Interesting. There's a Sean Kelly edition (not that I actually know who Sean Kelly is )

Think this one is in stock and in your size.
The Aero road (that you like) would need ordered and would likely be a month or so wait.

Just looked on the Evans site at the lite speed bikes very nice

 

[vickster]

I was in the big roadbike oriented Evans at Waterloo yesterday - frankly their bikes are overpriced for the spec IMO - £1700+ in the sale for an off the peg carbon 105 bike from the likes of Trek or Specialized! You really can get so much more for the money online...which is a real shame for the LBS. I don't think they had any Litespeed models

If you are in Cheshire, bob over to The Bike Factory in Whaley Bridge. Scott and Wilier. Fred and Rob know their stuff.

Sportive Nation has opened near the Rising Sun in Hazel Grove. Big on Bianchi.

Finally, Freeride Cycles in Disley. Cube and Merckx.
