What's the cheapest Campag specced bike, out there

PostieJohn

Looking for a bargain chaps.

Has anyone stumbled across any properly cheap winter hack type bikes, with Campag, I'm assuming it'll be Veloce, drive train?

Try Ribble?
Just had a look and you can build up one of their 'hack' frames with mirage/xenon for a smidge over £500.

Second hand will be cheaper.

Almost certainly Ribble. Their winter frames are pretty unexciting though - bog standard aluminium with ugly welds.

Have a look at this from Decathlon http://www.btwincycle.com/EN/sport-3-54-57-69013214/
Stock is low in the UK due to a newer model coming out (not sure of the specs yet).
If you can find one in your size then you could be on to a winner.Ignore the online stock checker call your local store.
I ran one of these frames for 2 years and to be honest I didn't notice much difference when I swapped to my Kineses Kic 2.

Small frame at 44cm but a good buy for a young lad

aahh, didn't see that, cheers

Phil, don't apologise, how did you know my cycling wife is just about less than 5 foot tall?.
So in the market for 44cm bikes.

Although she can't ever have a Bianchi until I've upgraded to a Time RXR VIP.

So actually do one!

PhilofCas

ha-ha, do you think she'll notice the difference in price :shock: ('cause deep down you know you won't tell her the truth )

PostieJohn

She knows all about it, it even comes up when Wifey wants something slightly unobtainable, knowing damn well we'd never be able spend that on a bike, but hoping I'd push the boat out for her thing.
