Hi there,

Just looking for some advise as I am considering buying a new bike for the season ahead. So far the bike that has taken my fancy is the new Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 8.0. £3600. Does anyone have any other suggestions on a bike for the same kind of price??

Thanks in advance.

  • Have you considered the Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 7.0 Di2. Looks better value at £3300

    Very true e.g. http://whyte.bike/gb/models/road/rrd-ca ... e-ultegra/ The bikes mentioned look good value.

  • Are there any particular things you are looking for? I.e. do you want di2, disc brakes, a race bike or something more comfortable.

    I'd pick up something in last year's colours but with the same spec as this year's and spend the grand saving on a really smart cycling holiday.

    Buy that BMC team machine with full Di2 that was up for a grand and talked about in that huge "what bike for 3,500" thread that was on here a couple of months ago - Winstanleys I think? Then 2,500 on holidays and wine.
