perpetual question - New Bike advice (circa £1000).........s

shabs5000

Hi all,

I'm after some advice - and I know this is a repeating question so forgive me.

I'm looking to upgrade my old (ebay bought) Ridley bike for a new one. I am targeting circa £1000.

Based on what I've read my current options/shortlist is:

Boardman team Road £800
Boardman road team carbon £1150
Caad10 (105) £1000
giant defy1 £1000

I do couple of short mid week rides and a longer Sunday ride. Races are mainly triathlon (oly distance) but would like to have a go at sportives next summer. It will be my main bike so need for all year round and probably on the turbo too?

Current thinking is the Aly Boardman Team Road and spend the saving on a proper fitting??? thoughts?

(i've also had ribble and planetx thrown in but where the f do i start there! :-) )

Comments and suggestions welcome - thanks in advance!

For sportive comfort, less road buzz and great kit for the price I would stretch to the Boardman Carbon. The CAAD 10 is a great bike but a little more full on geometry for long rides so not as comfortable.
