Hi

Newbie here
I'm currently looking at some used bikes to replace my weekly/bi-weekly cardio sessions on an indoor bike (Concept 2). I have four options in the 670-870 € range:

Hmm... great bike/great price vs great bike/great price vs great bike/great price vs great bike/great price - tricky!

Any one of them would probably be a perfectly good choice so either buy the one in the best condition or the one you like most?

Cervelo s2 for me. Simple bsa BB for me.
But 105 Vs ultegra of the others..

That. I wouldn't get hung up on 105 vs Ultegra- not a lot of difference, if any, in how they work or feel.

Cervelo gets my vote. Lovely bikes.

The Cube is great too, but I don't like SRAM.

How come you don't like SRAM?

Maybe I am overthinking it. Just want to make sure I buy something decent - especially because the bikes are somewhat old.

If they're all in good condition, they're all decent…

I don't like the shifters. There's nothing wrong with them, and I know that people prefer them for certain hand shapes, but they aren't for me.

Don't die never having owned a pinarello !

why? They're fugly

Well. Aesthetics aside it seems like I can't go wrong with any of them. I have also found a Specialized Tarmac 2015 with Shimano 105 for 670 €:

But I guess the answer is the same - can't go wrong with any of the bikes?

 

[AndyRM]

Pretty much @Simon_R

You're getting a lot of bang for your buck whatever you decide on.

Thank you for the help. I ended up buying... none of the above 🙃. Instead I found and bought this Bianchi Sempre Pro Ultegra. Can't wait to take it out for a spin
