I have gone and done it...

[swiftylee]

so having spent the day looking at bikes and getting in a right mess..

the question i asked myself was do i or do i not get a racer.... argh i dont know...

well hit ebay this afternoon and managed to pick up a carerra tdf 58cm only used once for £310

bonus being its only about 15minutes from me house...

so waiting for the guy to contact me for collection....

my idea is if i like a racer i can keep this for a hack and get the trek modane 2.3 in green and white which is stunning....

will keep you posted...

Nice one! my commuter is a Carrera.

Very good idea, and a good entry-level bike. My mate is a big fan of his, though it does get neglected in favour of his more bling carbon effort these days!

I love the look of these bikes, the livery is so eye catching

Sharp bike. Enjoy your new ride.

 

[biggs682]

good price that

So got the bike...

Not used once like description and 56cm not 58 but feels ok...

Chipped him £20 due to not as description so £290 for £600 bike not bad rides ok

Get some gator skins next and see how we go

You'll be on that Trek soon. Just for the 'need' to upgrade. I've convinced myself it's the bike that's unfit not me!

 

[swiftylee]

i saw the trek yesterday green/white oh god fell in love... hope to hang out and pick up when new models come out a bit cheaper...

You have a nice bike now, nice enough that I think you will probably go full carbon come upgrade time.
