Hello all, after some opionions on some bikes im considering for next bike. I currently have 2011 cannondale synapse tiagra which i bought a year ago wanting to lose weight. Lost just over 4 stone in about 9 months and am now happy just under 14st . But now ive been bitten by cycling bug and want to get a bettr ride.
Looking at either giant tcr composite 2, a cube around £1.5k or go all out and get a scott foil 20 on the never never. I know the scott is the jewel out of these but not sure if its worth exra outlay. I commute to work when im on shift (just over 20 miles round but probably keep cannondale for this), when im off i tend to do 2 50 mile rides averaging 18-20mph and a couple of 20 milers averaging 23mph each week (Im off for 2 weeks every 5). Going to do some rides this year around 90-100 with clubs / sportivs. Im 6ft, my cannondale is 54cm. Whats peoples opionion? Im leaning towards giant.

Maybe the Synapse Carbon if you like the geometry of your current frame? It's a great bike and you can often find them in the sales.0

There some pretty decent avg sp numbers there. Think you deserve to treat yourself and push the boat out and get your dream ride. If you leaning towards Giant worth putting the extra money towards a TCR Advanced (orthe SL if your feeling flush).0
