Aero Road Bike

    Looking for suggestions for a new road bike. Have a few in mind, but would like to hear from others...
    Looking at bikes around €5k. Would like an aero road bike, ideally would love wireless shifting too. Integrated cockpit is fairly important too (can’t stand seeing cables in this day and age) :)

    What would you go for with the above caveats?

    Ridley Noah FAST.
    I have one with the integrated seatpost and jsut beware its very stiff with the integrated cockpit.
    Anything over 2 or 3 hours and book yourself in for a massage the next day.

    The top end Propel for around 5.5k looks a beauty from pictures and in person as wel. They aren’t everyone’s cup of tea (not mine) but this one really stands out.

    Best value for buck is the Cube Litening. Di2, disc, fully concealed cabling and integrated cockpit.

    No matter what you buy, at some stage you'll inevitably regret it wasn't an S5 - so don't put yourself through that.

    Actually this one is top of my list at the moment, just can’t look past it for value.

    S5 is amazing but out of my budget

    5k certainly gets you a new s5 if you can put up with the grubby ignominious peasantry of *shudder* mechanical shifting.
