Road bike recommendations

CSG sold out because Evans brought all the CAAD12 from them, and I mean all.

You might not see new bike until winter, or 2017, Cannondale unsurprisingly take longer.

Disc

bum deal, thanks for the heads up

Pinnacle Dolomite 5 come to mind, especially the hydraulic one.

Not the most amazing bike, but does the job as a winter bike better than another Ribble Audax.

More expensive, heavier (but cooler) Ritchey Road Logic or lighter cheaper (but less cool) Trek Emonda ALR?

My other bike is a Surly Straggler. I won't be racing on the new bike but I want a faster more exciting road bike for weekend rides.

CAAD12 would have also been an option if they weren't sold out at the disro.

Any road bike will feel lighting fast compare to your Straggler, like this Specialized Allez SL Comp;

Trek Emonda ALR is a cracking bike to ride too.

Planet X London Road? Standard builds come with SRAM (I've got the Rival 11 disc which I really like) but you could build up a frame.

Mmm yeah an option. Or Pinaccle Arkose. @edscoble Dolomite only has clearance for 25c with guards? What is this, 2009?

Domane ALR, 28C and mudguards and direct mount brakes. There is one in action bikes if you want to have a look.

CAAD12 would have also been an option if they weren't sold out at the disro.

Get one from Germany?

Makes warranty stuff a bit of a 'mare tho

Wrong. I've ridden 27c Pave's on skinny and wide rims with guards on a Dolomite.

I can get Cannondale for cheaps from CSG so am reluctant to not take advantage of the deal.

I'd get Trek or Ritchey.

Evans doing 15% off Cannondale range

The disc model is different tho, fork is big enough for 25mm and mudguard, but 28mm might be a squeeze.

Your i recall was a rim brakes model with long reach calliper a.

Yeah true, didn't realise the clearance had got smaller. Shocking....

Different fork, a very nice looking fork with integrated cable routing but still tiny.

Try the arkose, clearance for 40c tyres. Not light tough

I was out last night on a fast hilly 30 with a carbon gang and my Logic kept up. Proof enuff. Srsly though with a decent build, it isn't heavy and it never feels that weighty climbing, I've only got budget wheels. And I felt smugly superior to their identikit crabon, although Genesis one was quite pleasant.

I think I'm swaying towards the Road Logic. I'll need to save up for a bit longer but like you said it's nice to have something different.

Definitely go for that, weight is moot as long the bike feel fast.

Any reason why to have a giant defy 0 or caad8 than the dolan suggest above? Need a reason

Defy 0 with ultegra 105 799.20
Caad8 105 for 649
Dolan preffiso built to spec inc 105 pedals gatorskins 28c 744

Defy sound like better value for money.

Take them both out for a test ride.

I have the Defy disc 1, not ridden either of the other two, can recommend it for all day comfort, you can also get 28mm tyres in it.

Yh think i might have too. Just need to factor in costs of guards. Will evans price match?
