Road bike recommendations

They were a reward for achieving something important to myself, so ner.

By having new foot?

£1269 Campag Athena :)

who uses campag !? are you out of your mind?

dem hoodz

Oh shut up.

you paid 700 quid for cranks? Wtf

Only because he was being a cheapskate and didn't want to spend the extra £300 on Claviculas.

Not a fan

Pauls Cycles have some sizes of 'Dale cheap.

Oh shut up.

This

Dammit has been taking lessons from Dave Brailsford.

It marginal gains innit.

£700 small margin.

Think of it as jewelry with a purpose.

£1700 for ultegra Di2

So tempted to get one of these with Di2. Decent wheels as well.

I have a general noob question about buying a 2nd hand steel road bike on a budget. I'm looking to get my first proper road bike (I have one, but it's 55cm c-c and I'm 6'4" or just under). I liked the idea of building up a bike from the frame, but I don't have much experience/knowledge esp. wrt. sourcing components, and I have heard that complete bikes can be as good/better value. So the question is how much should I aim to pay to get a bike with a good, light frame and a decent paint job? I'm in Berlin, no idea how that compares with London. Should I expect cheaper than this for example? The fm-1frame is triple-butted and the components are apparently shimano rx 100. Can I reasonably expect to do better by buying a frame + sourcing components? Or should I view that option as just a learning project?

looks a damn nice bike...but can't take for a test ride or size out makes it a bit hard to commit. I have faith in Ze German engineering though...

do not forget that canyon is using ritchey 1 1/4 stems!!!

I did not know that.

Adds to long list

Lovely bike for the cash.

My bike fit chap had the 11spd campag CF one. These look so nice in the flesh.

How come the pricing is so competitive on them?

I have a question, which road steel frames do 1 1/8th head tube?
The one I know is Tokyo Fixed Road Rocket: http://www.tokyofixedgear.com/products/196-Tokyo-Fixed-Frames-2012/5165-Tokyo-Fixed---Road-Rocket---Silver/

But thats too expensive, I am looking at £400 mark ..

genesis equilibrium?

• all the Surly and Charge frames. If it's modern and mass produced it's likely to be 1 1/8.
  

Surly Pacer, Genesis Equilibrium, Salsa Casseroll, Tokyo Fixed Wide Open Dream Machine is as far as I can remember.

thank you!
