The £1500 what bike thread
Discussion
Following on from my Cube vs Giant thread.
Originally I was looking at a CdF 30,then looked at clearance bikes,hence the Cube vs Giant thread.Then liked the idea of a Kona Roadhouse 2016 not 2017 or a Bianchi Vigorelli.
Quite frankly I am going round in circles.I like steel but they seem expensive when compared to carbon and carbon is getting some very good discounts.
I am 6 foot,113kg,ride for pleasure and can be in the Pyrenees in 4 hours door to door.
If it was your cash what would you buy?

Like steel? How about last year's equilibrium disc 30, reduced from £1850 to £1240?
I'm 5'11 and actually had a 2015 Equilibrium in small, since replaced under warranty with a 2017 medium (both sizes work for me), so perhaps the medium advertised here would work for you.

Is better to have a bike a bit to small rather than to big?
Well the draw of steel won through and the ability for a rack.
Thanks for your input chaps was appreciated.
Ordered a Genesis Equilibrium 20 from Freeborn.I was looking for discounted 2016 but was offered 2017 with 20% discount,11/32 cassette and mech,delivered for under my budget of £1500.

Great choice :-) I loved my stainless steel equilibrium and I'm looking forward to putting some good miles on the 2017 disc 30.Thanks for your input chaps was appreciated.

Is that a disc model or rim braked one that you went for?
