Hi all
I'm looking to get a road bike to do a 20mile commute to work once or twice a week, fitness training, and some triathlons on.
I'm looking at:
Ribble evo pro carbon with a 105 or Centaur groupset
Planet x carbon grand fondo with Sram rival
Planet x carbon rival with Sram rival
All come in at £999. Any opinions would be most appreciated.
Thanks

just put it in the search for bikes under a grand, there was a review cycling + check it out0

Specialised Allez.....wins all the reviews under £1k0

I have an Allez at the moment, albeit the entry level one. I'm looking to make the step up to a better groupset, and a carbon frame would be nice0

The Defy and Boardman Team aren't really comparably as the Defy is a slightly more relaxed bike, and the Boardman has a more aggressive frame and riding position.
I've got a Defy 1 and its a joy to ride... and is ideal for a commuter as Giant make a rack for it, and full mudguards...If you're looking for a race focused bike, I'd look to the Boardman though.. or maybe something like a Canyon roadlite or Rose Pro-2000.
Out of your suggestions, I'd choose the Planet X over the ribble.0 -
Have a look at Dolan site,
Dolan Mythos starting from £813 and Hercules SE from £913 full carbon and niiiiiice looking bikes0 -
I'm looking at spending £1K and for that price the excellent ribble sportive bianco gets you a good carbon frame and reasonable components.
That's where my money is heading.
I believe it to be the next bike level up from the Allez0 -
What about Cannondale Caad 8 105? or tiagra version to keep it under £1000.
what are peoples thoughts on the Caad 8?
Sorry for hijacking the post, but its a similar question so didn't wanna start a new one!!
cheers!0 -
Ribble- 105...
