Looking for race bike 56 cm

disco1

Well lads.

Looming for a race bike to do few a4 races.
56 cm.....im 5.11
Mint condition...looking for good deal.

Ideally nice frame....at least ultegra....decent carbon bars 44cm a bonus...also nt intrested in mavic aksiums or rs 11s........so a half decent wheelset too. Budget about 2000. But have a new set of ultegra 6800 wheels so may be intrested in bike without wheels..tires...cassette.
Cash waiting.

Any region between drogheda to dublin...

FYI The new cannondale caad12 is getting really glowing reviews. A top of the tree aluminium road race bike. 2 grand could get you an ultegra one?

Alternatively, this jumped out at me recently on an idle browse.

It's simple. Just post up that you've bought something and within 24 hours you'll see at least 5 members post "reluctant sale" ads of bikes just your size and money.

Alternatively, though I'm sure you've done your own dealing, here are the ones that have been catching my magpies. (I'm a 56 too:))

Some proper pro spec machines:

Super super light and stiff Felt F1

Lol


I hablve been watching these bikes.....in particular the f1

I had the previous model F1. Fabulous bike. But if the cube is short, the felt is long. Long and low. I hadn't the racing flexibility to ever be really comfortable on it.

Great bike though.

disco1

Yea.

Messaged him already....best hell do is 2200 without wheels...i dont really need wheels but max budget is 2k....wont go over it...but yes f1 is class bike.

I always drawn back to the tcr advanced.

So if anyone has one they want to shift.......size m/l....ultegra or better group...no crank rub pet hate....and vcg.

OP, I presume you got sorted but just to throw an other option out there if not, you can pick up a F1 frame for €1200, if you have bits to build her up can work out decent value.

I bought my F1 from them after a crash, no issues recommending them.

I did get a almost new tcr advanced 1but made a balls of it.....after i saw the condition it was in i was distracted by the fact it was a medium....im m/l the next sizs up.

I tried it and seemed good for size however once i put my kit on and went for a spin its just a tiny bit too small which is a shame as it only did 2 stages of the 2015 ras ax a back up bike it really does look brand new as was in storage since.....i am going to shift it on now and get a m/l or 56 cm bike
