Cyclescheme - £850 Max Budget

[MrJosef]

Hi All,

New to the forum and as usual straight in with an advice request

Due to my rather naff job I am limited on my cyclescheme voucher to £850. I am looking to get as decent a roadbike as I can for this money. Thus far I have rounded it down to these few options, Which do you think are worthwhile viewing etc?

Bianchi Via Nirone Xenon
Cannondale CAAD8 Tiagra
Cannondale Synapse Tiagra
Cube Peloton (Dont really want a triple CS though)
Felt F85
Scott Speedster S30

I know the Ribble's are also good value for money but I am a bit put off by all the nightmare customer service feedback about them.

Cheers, Joe

Hi,

Personally I'd go for the CAAD8, from your list. What's the story on ribble customer service? I thought they were ok? I'm interested bcos I like their bike options and was thinking about using them myself.

Cheers, and welcome to the forum.

Neh bother.... I found some excellent explanation here....

I was in the same position, and I've ordered the CAAD8. I should pick it up next week...
