Hi

I am a keen cyclist and I am wanting to get into racing and I am looking for a new road bike I have a 2k budget but do not know a whole lot about bikes. So I am looking for a bit of advice, I have being doing a bit of research and the Stork Scenero 2011 seems to come out very well in the reviews, (won bike radar bike of the year) and was wondering what everyone thinks about them or if they can recommend a better bike to get for my budget?

Any help is much appreciated

Thanks guys

Stephen

    Do you mean Storck?

    Pretty low spec groupset and wheels for that money.

    My prefered ride every time, I gather it's a 105 GS you are looking at; I love my Storck and would buy again. Remember wheels, GS and finishing kit can be upgarded at a later date, the important point is that you are getting a great frameset and to be honest a great ride for the money, but try and get a test ride before you spend 2k on a bike.
