Hi folks
So, I am taking delivery of a shiny new pair of Mavic Cosmic Cabone SL's today, that I picked up for under 500 sheets. Cheers CRC.
Now I just need a bike to attach them too.
I have narrowed my search down to 3 bikes and I can't decide, so any real world experience and general informed assistance would be wonderful.
1. Ridley Noah 2017.
Pros: Well reviewed, race proven frame design, nice paint job, full Ultegra group, decent Fulcrum Quattro's to sling on my (soon to be) winter bike.
Cons: Older model, not convinced I love the frame design aesthetically
2. Cervelo S2 2018.
Pros: It's a Cervelo. Cool frame design
Cons: 105 group a bit stingey on a 2.5k bike, crap wheels.
3. Fuji Transonic 2.5 2018.
Pros: Stunning frame design, cheapest of the 3 including current discount, well reviewed all round aero race bike
Cons: 105/ in house componentry (although the Oval stuff is meant to be decent and looks cool), paint job is a bit boring, keeping the matte finish clean and finger print free will drive me up the wall.
All are between £1700 and £1750 with current discounts applied.
Cheers
Jimmy
