    I’ve been road cycling for only a year, so I got an old Dolan off ebay for £200, just to see if cycling was for me….Now after 3,000 miles I’m thinking it’s time for a lovely new bike.

    I’ve set my budget at £2,000…And I’m thinking of an Ultegra groupset and carbon…

    Any thoughts between the Dolan Tuono, the Ribble Ultimate and the Merlin Nitro?

    Or are they all pretty similar?

    Thanks

    James

    Or the Emonda ALR a little

    Or the Emonda ALR a little harsher than the SL6 but a lighter framset than the Carbon and you can flog off the ultegra and put it towards Dura Ace for a similar price…

    A little bit of a faff but a better bike for the money

    Trek Emonda SL6, I have the SL5 and it’s a fantastic bike that has great stiffness for climbing but plenty comfortable for longer rides, got fantastic reviews with good reason.  It has an understated beauty about it (although mine is bright green )

    Boardman SLR endurance 9.2 is 2k. Has some dura-ace if you want added bling. Good review recently in cycling weekly and may be delivered slightly sooner than the canyon. 

    Got mine last month – loving it. Black and white colour scheme isn’t too exciting but the ride is great.

    Agree with above.  Great to get a 2016 model if you’re lucky, and at a stupid low price.

    £1000 to £1500 will get you

    £1000 to £1500 will get you plenty of bike. Go for a 2016 model, they’ll be reduced and get you more bang for your buck. Put the rest towards a cycling holiday somewhere awesome.
