Need a new bike help me choose
I still have a Felt F95 which I'm planning on giving a service and getting back out on it to gain some fitness and shed some kilos
As a reward for doing above I'm going to get a new bike . I've got £2000-£3000 to spend and narrowed it down to these two (seem to have best specs for price)

And this

Or is there anything better in the price range
Thanks

I wish.... I'm in the UK and don't fancy/willing to get shipping form USA for a bike
Gorgeous choice BTW if it was uk I would be all over it .0 -
Its the same as ordering from the UK -
go on site
buy bike
it comes down in a box by courier - R&A use DHL
job jobbed
can't see the problem really

courier delivery charge to pay from anywhere online
import duty yes but look at the price
so not bad advice overall tbh.

Still prefer uk as the customer service returns are much easier than if I had to send back to USA in the case of damage in transit etc
Plus they don't have my size in stock
Any thoughts on the 2 bikes I listed

Last time I checked for new bicycles, 6 months ago, Canyon was by far best value for money.
Canyon Ultimate, comes with a very broad range of prices and specs.
Although I ended up buying (again) a Cannondale Synapse Carbon Ultegra Disc, 2yr used but basically new. Paid 2450, new would have been I think 3650.

Being the right size for the OP might have a degree of usefulness, especially as there seems to be just the 1 size available…. ?MattFalle said:

Maybe it's a personal preference but, same as with cars, I'd rather buy used. Value for money muuuuuch better.0

Canyon bikes - customers buying/after sales experience seems to vary plus potential long wait time if not an in-stock bike. Vfm for bike spec however is very good.pep.fermi said:Last time I checked for new bicycles, 6 months ago, Canyon was by far best value for money.

This maybe? £2800

Van Rysel at Decathlon is very good spec for your money - showing out of stock on internet but if you pop into your locsl nd ask they may be able to help..

Just realised I reposted one of your own suggestions- the Boardman is going to be hard to beat for spec/price.andyrr said:
