edited January 2013 in Road buying advice
As title, I thought I was set on getting last years Foil 30, I'm not sure what's changed I just have no idea what I want, I've got a 2k budget and enjoy going on long rides and called me perverted but the more hills the better! But I'm also interested in doing some races/crits so to that end I'm not sure with what too go for! Or wether I could build a half decent one up? Been inspired by some great threads on here.

I'm hoping I can see what a couple of you think and what you use for certain rides which will help me make a decision.

Cheers guys :D

    Seems like a Cannondale Supersix would fit your requirement and budget (with some to spare for stuff).
    Yellow is the new Black.

    Funny you said that as they've been growing on me the past couple of days, anyone got any good/bad experiences with them?

    Actually i agree with you on this, i said in another post that Supersix are like £1300 in some places arent they? Absolute bargain if he could pick one of them up at that price. Like you say, money to spare to buy the extras and tart it up a bit.

    I'm undecided about canyons I'm not sure if I like the look of them, I know you get a fair bit for your money and I've read fairly decent reviews.

    I've seen last years team colours with 105 Groupset for £1350 I'm really tempted! And as you say nice little bit to tart it up!


    Anybody know of any others that can get thrown into the mix?

    I have a Supersix. Bike before was an Allez. I love it. Comfortable, fast and splendid value for money.
