Stock alu bike with SRAM

[vickster]

What's out there at the moment in the way of the off the peg? Alu frame / carbon fork, SRAM gearing, preferably a more relaxed geometry?

Mustn't be black

Can't ride so may as well browse for bikes

 

[vickster]

Obviously not much out there!

Dolan will build you a prefissio with SRAM, getting expensive though with better wheels

The earlier boardman team road came with sram in 2011ish, maybe I'll look for used, it'll be the shopping bike when i fancy drops!

AFAIK Kuota use SRAM, like this: http://www.epic-cycles.co.uk/Kuota_Korsa.html

Loads out there but they are obviously all in the best colour

 

[vickster]

I can't find many

The Kuota is a grand, and sounds rather racy...

I saw that but I think it'll be too small. I usually ride a 54cm being a smidge under 5'10

Check sizing i have the small and i am 5 foot 7 ", the sizes quoted are the size for the compact frame normally on halfords rather than the virtual frame size.
edit effective top tube of 530 mm

Might work with a longer stem...not sure I want to spend £600

Maybe my lounge is looking empty, with just the lonely Pearson, the whyte is being fixed and the genesis is still being built. When all the babies are home, maybe I'll be ok it's not like I'll be riding for at least a month anyhow

For some reason boardmans not doing a new version and they have missed a few models out of the range compared to previous ranges so i am finding that price wise they are getting closer to mainstream bikes, my comp was £799 at "full price "2 years ago with apex and now the new comp is sora.

Depends if you want a " girly " geometry or a standard set up , guy at work has a tifosi with sram and it looks sweet.

 

[vickster]

It doesn't need to be girly, just not black

I'd be happy with a 2011 sram equipped model, second hand if the price was right. Wouldn't really want to spend more than £400

SAB Classico? - http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CBSABCLARIV/sab-classico-sram-rival-alloy-road-bike

 

[vickster]

Bloody hell that's pretty!

And about £800 over budget

Well you never gave us a budget "
