Hi all, looking for a bit of feedback before I start hitting the bike shops and testing out a few different models.
Most of my riding is weekend club rides, although I do love doing doing regular RP laps which I suppose are more akin to mini solo TTs.
I ride alot in a bunch, but some of the guys I ride with swear by aero bikes just for the "improved" handling ( I have no idea if aero bikes handle better ).
I'm niether a kick ass hill climber nor a top sprinter I'm just in good shape and enjoy riding a racey bike.
Finally I have been a bit flumoxed by roumours of discs become UCI legit from next year.
Not that I'm going to be doing any race stuff but does that mean we're going to see a flood of new models next year? ( cannondale roumors a plenty.. )
Bikes I'm currently considering either side of 2 grand..
Cervelo S2
Cervelo R3
Cannondale Supersix 105
Trek Emonda SL6
Giant propel advanced 2
spesh tarmac comp /elite
or disc models
giant defy advanced pro 1
focus cayo 4.0
cannodale caad 10 disc
anything I've missed or bikes you've really enjoyed riding?
oh and for bikes with training standard wheels I'll be looking to build up flo 30's for nice rides in the summer.
Thanks!
