Hi all and apologies for the dumb question I am going to ask!
I am 50+, overweight, not a fit cyclist and am dieting, training and aiming for Coast to Coast later this year along with other sportives.
I currently ride an old Giant Defy 1 which has served me well and completed the C2C last year but I want something new.
The advice needed is – which bike is best in the £2K-£3K range?
Do I stay with Giant (all my kit is branded!) and I like the look of the TCR Advanced
I love the BMC Teammachine SLR01 (especially the Di2 !!)
I quite like the BMC Gran fondo range
I dont really like Specialised but the Roubaix has that suspension …… is it worthwhile?
I know I cant afford Cervelo, Pinarello etc and am not keen on Ridley, Fuji, Genesis, Planetx
I would like Ultegra but know that 105 is probably all that I need!
I can see that buying 2016 stock or demo bikes will save me hundreds of pounds but is there any point buying old stock (from Evans for example…..) – do you get the same warranty as new?
As someone who will never rival Wiggins or Froome, what do I aim for ?
Any advice at all would be welcome. Lots of people out there wil have tried several of these and others besides
Thanks for reading !
