This looks like it .Unless i can get better .

Trek 2.1 62cm .

Shimano 105,triple(thinking about the knees )

Tiagra brakes ,105 levers .

Wheels Shimano SSR (WHATEVER THAT MEANS )Alex rims .

Everything else Bontrager .

Pedals extra /£970.

Question is can i get a better bike for my £1,000.

No more than that .

6' 4" tall 34/35 inside leg ,151/2 st.At the moment .

Are the wheels any good ?

Not much of an authority on fast bikes, but i've heard plenty of chatter about the Planet X carbon job for a penny under £1000 at work, might be worth a look.

Nice paint job- looks like a lot of bike for the money that.

I had some Alex rims on my Spesh Allez and they were cr*p but that's not to say that they always are.

Right -too many bikes to look at .

But just spotted this

Cannondale caad 9

63cm.

Tiagra throughout .Great write ups .

So now looking this is is .It's betwwen these two .

Unless !!!!!!! you lot know any better .

Please help .

They say the Cannondale black is better seen in person .

So a visit to Edinburgh cycles on it's way .

I was going to suggest the Cannondale - lovely frames!

the boardman comp from halfords is just under a grand and gets rave reviews. factor in the cost of having it checked over by a proper bike shop though…

At your time of life (I might be horribly wrong here!) don't you think that a bit of top-end would work wonders? Sourcing a really good second hand bike for that money shouldn't be too difficult.

The better the bike the easier the pedalling!

 

[bad boy]

Caad 9 all the way

Like this time of life quote .But what does top-end mean .

And i am steering towards the Caad9.LBS so near me .And the write ups are brilliant .

And the colour will not age .Like team colours going out of fashion .

Like everygirl needs a little black dress .So every bloke needs a big black bike .63cm .

Please keep the remarks coming .This is a big decision and the retirement pressie at last .

Read that quick and thought that was a hundred and fifty one or two stone. Sorry Postman.
