Looking for help after scouring the internet for days and ending up in some sort of mid price bike continuum.
Basically after 8 years (lol) I’ve decided to upgrade my old Giant OCR(bless her) to something nicer. As previously someone who has shunned bike fetishism I realise I know next to nothing about road bikes. Basically my budget is around £1,500 and I’m struggling! I have considered many but the most sensible option seems like the Ribble R872 Disc. However I’ve since read that a low end carbon frame can be trumped by a high end aluminium frame so something like the Canyon Endurance Al Disc or the Giant TCR Disc.
I know I’m not being super helpful by not providing a lot of bikes that I’ve looked at but basically I’m looking for the most bike for my buck. Preferably with a good frame, decent groupset and preferably disc brakes(I hear they’re.. good?) so basically is there anything anyone out there would recommend at this price?
if this helps it will mostly be used for 3/4 rides a week totalling somewhere between 100-250km a week. Not into racing or anything like just love getting the old Km’s in. Thanks!
