Views on new bike possibilites please.
Hi all, I am now in the market for a second bike.
Now the 2 I am looking at are another giant tcr 0 compact (which i already own and love) or a beone mistral competition road bike.
£1050 is my absolute max.
Or maybe people have other ideas. All opinions welcome

Throw caution to the wind, bust the budget and get a Madone 5.2 or a Specialized Venge Comp for about £2,500. You'll won't have to think about upgrading and it'll give you something better than you've had before.
But to be honest it sounds like you don't want to go that far the Madone 3.1, or Eddy Merkx EMX-1 works. Give yourself an improvement/comparative, rather than going for the same.
the one i have has been well used so will be used as my second bike. after a new best bike.
WHY would you want to own two of the same bike?
I know some people do, but I don't see the sense, Get yourself something different so you have some variety.
