upgrade bike or improve existing biken (opinions please)

shansey

hi all. I'm on a 2015 cube peleton race with 105.

I think I cycle enough and race enough to warrant a half decent bike that I can be proud of.

I was looking at putting some Zondas on or some form of carbon rim, maybe change up the saddle.

Either that or upgrade to a carbon bike.

any ideas?

Buy a new bike and put zondas on that. Obviously.

I found a carbon bike to be a major upgrade, and well worth it. There's lots to choose from...I really like the Cannondale Super Six Evo, but then it's the only one I know at all well. As everyone will tell you, Canyon and Rose are very competitive.

Rule of thumb, next bike should be at least double the value of the first bike!

Is that a velominati rule? it should be!

Chances are you won't upgrade for awhile after your second bike so make it a worthwhile investment. If you can't afford a full new bike then wheels are always a good upgrade. I really noticed the difference going from stock Giant wheels to Zondas.

I have the Cube Attempt, 2011 model of your bike, it's now my winter/commute bike and I still like it but my carbon Giant just feels more great compared to it!

Clearly I took longshanks advice, because I did buy a new bike and put Zondas on it

BTW I don't race and could still justify a new bike. Probably could justify a 3rd now... hmmmm

New bike and new wheels, at least that's what I did!

Alu to Carbon
105 to Ultegra
Stock wheels to Kyrsium sl. Pro

Always get a new bike, you know you want too....
