    I’m looking at 3 bikes with similar price points, just looking for opinions on what people think is best choice at this budget? The dearer ones have the advantage of interest free but is Ultegra that much better?

    Giant Propel Advanced 1 Road Bike green/black (2018) with ultegra – £1,359 (with discount code)

    Planet X EC-130-E aero road bike with SRAM Force 11 –  £1520 (interest free)

    Ribble Aero 883 with Shimano 105 –  £1599 (interest free)

    I have a 2016 Propel with Ultegra, I love it.  Haven’t ridden the other two, so won’t comment on them but mine offered the most bang for buck when I was buying (I did a lot of research as well as test rides) plus to me it looked the best and came in the nicest colour, so I still miss riding it when I haven’t been on it for a few days.  

    I did a 27 hour Everesting on it not long after buying it so comfort isn’t really an issue, for me at least.  I’ve ridden it in the mountains in Italy, and to work throughout the UK winter, notching up nearly 20000 kms on it.  I should really buy a proper winter bike, the clearances are a bit tight to cope with the muck and crap that come off our roads, but given the time I spend riding it I don’t begrudge having to replace parts now and then.

    Here’s our review of the slightly pricier Propel Advance Disc – if that helps, but tbh VeloUSA’s advice is spot-on.

    If riding all three isn’t an option, then if that was my three bike shortlist I’d probably go for the Giant – they rarely make a bad bike and Ultegra is my favourite groupset.
