Carbon, Ultegra, climbing bike - £1800

[smutchin]

A sprinter and green jersey competitor would use the beefy, aero venge where GC/yellow jersey riders would use the lightweight tarmac.

Which one are you?

For anyone who's interested. I've just committed to a :

2017 Focus Cayo Ultegra.
Purchased without wheels so instead of £2000 iv'e had it for £1650 and will put my campagnolo zonda wheels on.
Estimated weight will be around 7.5kg

Decent finishing kit too from fizik and FSA.

The only other close competitor was a canyon ultimate and a 105 equipped Scott addict, both would of been around £2000

Giant TCR's make up around 80% of the bikes where I live, a member of our cycling club is manager of Giant so has flooded the market ! I wanted something relatively different.

If you can get a better bike but with 105 I would do that.
105 is more than good enough for most of us - I did go ultegra on my last bike, but only because a good offer came up. Put the money towards better wheels,tyres, even frame.

Thats like triggers brush, but with a bike lol
