Hi everyone i`ve just joined the site and looks like a great site from what ive seen.
For the last few months ive been looking around for a new bike as ive had my Merida Ride for around 3 yrs so looking to upgrade now.
Ive looked at a few bikes over the few months and ive taken to these at the moment
Specialised venge vias di2 disc
Scott Foil team issue
Scott solace premium
I`am also going to attend London bike show on 18th so i hope to see a few options
I`am very much open to idea`s as i have a budget of 6k
My first option was the venge but unsure now reading reviews on how stiff this is
I also like the look of Scott foil
Any help would be great

6K to spend on a bike and you want advice from people on the internet?
Get to shops, go for rides, choose the one you want.0 -

Is it for racing?
If not, I'm not sure I'd be limiting my choice to these ultra-stiff (and quite frankly, ugly IMO), models.
I know a few ppl who race Venge and comment how harsh they are, which is kind of ok for racing. I've got the older Scott Foil- again, race stiff.
I'd go Tarmac S-Works over Venge any day personally. In fact, maybe take your wad of cash to the bike show and loiter around on the last day- you might pick up a bargain on a demo bike

What do you ride now? What do you like or dislike about it?
Discs? Rim brakes? Di2? Carbon wheels?
What riding do you do?
Your budget covers about 99% of bikes so you need to give us a clue.
If you dont know then keep hold of the cash til you do.0 -
Im after a new bike as well, but got budget of only 1k. I am also thinking of going to London bike show. Is it worth going there hoping to land a bargain? Never been to one before so not really sure if it will be worth the time and traveling cost.0
