I've already asked him about discs, he's not interested in them. Huge benefits in terms of rim wear and all weather braking performance but I think he's familiar with calipers and wants to stick with it rather than trying discs which are relatively new to road bikes
Let's be clear he's not about to drop the money tomorrow without testing out a few, but I've forgotten how he decided on the tarmac, think he mayy have tried one before.
Whats the steel talbot dalsnibba like in terms of weight? Would it bring more benefits for this guy over an OTP?
Any high brand with retail network to pay for will not be as cheap as the likes of Canyon, Ribble etc.
If he likes the look and value of Canyon he can try similar geo bikes for fit; the ride quality will be good with Canyon for sure. The new CF SLX looks tasty:
Have to say that following my GF's experience of buying a Canyon , I would not go that route. Also, while the alu bikes are solid enough, the carbon ones seem prone to failure (I'm not just talking about Ho here!).
