Upgrading my Sportive/Endurance bike

[JonniB]

Good evening,

I've currently got a Ribble Sportive 7005 and I'll looking to upgrade.

I've got around £1300 to spend but there is so much choice and I'm looking for recommendations.

I like the Boardman Carbon Team Pro and the Ribble Sportive Racing Full Ultegra R8000 SE but I'm open to suggests.

I look forward to hearing from people.

I don’t own any carbon bikes but I have always liked the look of those Willier bikes. Focus too.

I have the older New sportive Racing, mine's around 5 or 6 years old and it is very comfortable. The standard bars, saddle and seat ost are fairly basic, the saddle particually has taken some getting used to but I can live with it. Very stiff frame, forks at that time were slightly negatively reviewed, a bit flexy claimed the review but I never detected any.
No regrets buying mine...if the newer model is as good, I'd buy it.
