If you were given $2,000 to buy any bike you want, what would you do? Here at GCN, we'd almost certainly go for a used bike.
Thanks to @buycycle Si, Alex, and special guest star from @gtn Mark Threlfall have done exactly that. Between them they've gone for a modern future-proof bike, a five year old superbike, and a time trial bike.
But most importantly, which is the best $2,000 used bike we could buy?
In association with 🤝 @buycycle

@lieblingsleguan1591 17 днів тому
The blue Cannondale is not from 2019, it's from 2014! In 2019, the SuperSix had straight fork blades, that's why I looked up what year that frame colour is really from. Given it's a ten year old frame with 6800 Ultegra without the Ultegra crank set and not the high mod version of the frame, it's way overpriced even with the Enve wheels. For reference I had the exact same frame from 2015. I bought it new in January 2016 (in sale obviously) for 1900£. It had cheap Mavic wheels but an almost complete SRAM Red22 group set (Cannondale SI crank set and Force22 cassette). I loved that bike. But it had a total clearance of 29mm between the chain stays, so riding 23s with a measured width of 25mm, there was 2mm on each side between frame and tire. There was a lot of variance between frames in that regard looking at forum discussions from the time. A very nice bike, but not a superbike by any means. It's a ten year old mid range bike.

These videos remind me of the challenges from Top Gear. Keep them coming! Watching Alex and Si attack each other senseless was like racing your best mates on a Saturday morning. The gamesmanship of Alex in the time trial was a laugher! "Disc brakes, told you!?" "I purposefully rode through all the big puddles." Absolute gem friends, keep up the relationship development and trash talking.

Love this! I’d love to hear what each presenter’s favorite bike to ride of all time is. Not the coolest-rather best riding. Might be the latest and greatest or it could be a bike 15 years ago that road so well it still haunts you with how good it was.

I bought my DeRosa used, and I absolutely love it. Added narrower bars, shorter stems, and hunt wheels. Just wished British weather allowed me to use outside more often.

I got the exact same 2019 ultegra rim supersix in 63cm! I also paid $1750, lol! Changed the gearing to 46/30 with 11-36 rear. Sickest climbing bike I could think of! Only difference is mine has the carbon hollowgram wheels.

In that weather, the last test should have been a brake test 😅. I think still, the Emonda is the winner here,.....but I have also bought a "brand new", used Domane SL5. And a really great video, by the way❤.

@@gcn Maybe 10 mile TT with a 1k budget including modifications. Or a race to a destination where you can choose the route. Long route for a TT bike and a short route for a gravel (maybe even XC with GMBN).

I bought an Ammaco vintage racer for £80 in 2018 and it was the best bike I've ever had. Lightning quick and blinking well charming.

In the US we have Pro's Closet, which is roughly the same. More expensive than buying on marketplace, but it's a lot safer as every bike gets a full check. And shipping is reasonable, unlike a lot of sites to where I live.

It's amazing how much cost to features go up when you go with a second hand bike. Especially when higher end bikes are generally maintained pretty well!
