Hi guys,

So my girlfriend commutes on an old down tube shifter steel road bike and I reckon she could get into road cycling so I'm trying to find her a decent road bike for under a grand.

But she saw the special Sagan edition Tarmac disk SL6 today in a Specialized concept store in Kuala Lumpur and now she wants a bike with a glitter effect paint job but I don't have £8k for the Sagan bike. Does anybody know any road bikes with this effect for under a grand? I don't mind second hand I'm just looking for some names because nothing comes up when I Google it. Ive seen a few Cannondales with this effect also.

Worth mentioning I live in UK not Malaysia.

Thanks for any help in advance.
Jake

    If there are no options, you could chance some of this on a cheap frame:

    CAAD12 disc frame for about £900 if you have the parts to build something up? Looks like the new 2019 105 version will come in the purple/glittery scheme too (viewtopic.php?t=13094110)

    Pot of glue and a packet of glitter.

    Then she can match up with her vajazzle.

    Whilst not quite glitter the cheapest Specialized Diverge comes in a very appealing gloss Cherry red which looks great in the flesh and costs well under a grand:

    or spend £50 on rattle cans.

    From the sound of things she's not even that bothered about it so its just going to sit in the garage/shed anyway
