Hi guys standard help on new bike question.
Been on a carrera crixus for 3 years, no judging it was on sale!
Now upgrading to my first “real” road bike, got a budget of about 1k and am particuarly drawn to the these three:
Giant TCR Advanced 2 – Found online for 1100
Giant Propel Advanced 2 – Found Online for 1050
The new boardman 8.9c, the replacement to the Team Carbon – 900 including British cycling discount but a unknown at this stage as new reviews out yet, cheaper but uses Tiagra rather than 105.
After your thoughts / advice / recomendations, mainly going to be used for fitness training and longer wekeend rides, got a 100 booked in for September with my furthest ride before of 60 so need something thats going to stand up to it.
Would ideally like Carbon but open to suggestions if Aluminium proves better at this price point, know if i get a decent carbon frame i can upgrade potentially to 105 as and when parts wear out.
Case of too many options and not having any friends who enojy cycling, so its new bike then new friends!
