Re: My New bike
For two more gears than mine it works out at $300 a gear! pricewise. Im happy with 18 gears for $2.000. I talked to the guys at Pro-Am cycles about the bike you told me about, they seem to think the price is because it's team colours etc? Is that the price hike as well as two extra gears? I'm not sure?

Re: My New bike
Most certainly...
I'm looking for the most cost effective bike with 105 groupset. Alloy frame, carbon fork... Hopefully I can find one for $1250 or under... Currently looking atthe Felt F80. Online can be had for 1300+. |

There are a few 105 bikes around at ~$1000 but there are compromises being made on the frames, wheels etc. Some examples: http://www.cellbikes.com.au/product.php?id=58 An ebay one The full groupset is close to $1000 alone here in AUS, so I guess all the other components free anyway at these prices! I would be looking for "end of season" sellouts on a Giant or Felt. |

Re: My New bike
Hi , I payed $2,000 for my avanti 18 spd,105, It was down from $2.500, The review I read in the Ride magazine was an Avanti with 10 spd for $2.500 so for $500 less and 18 gears im more than happy . All the Avanti road frames come with a five year warranty for manufacturing defects and workmanship, they also have a 12 month warranty on forks ,paint and decals . all in all I think they are a great bike!

Re: My New bike
I have a feeling that the bike you saw was in the team colours, I seem to recall that i saw that bike in a book that said it was worth $5000 , maybe its a missprint? as well mine is a different colour! hope that helps.
