Best Road Cycle?

[nitindesai004]

Hey guys I am looking for a new Road cycle as I am moving to a new place. I don't care about the price as long as its of some use to me. Mostly I would be using it for travelling till my office and coming back. One of my friend suggested this "Cannondale CAD-6" but still I would like to have a look at some more of Road bikes before I actually buy one!

FWIW. Well, based on the category you are posting your question in, if you want the BEST, then many would say you should look no further than PINARELLO ... and, use CAMPAGNOLO components.

A Pinarello is too rich for my blood and I just can't get past those curved fork arms & stays ...

Other BETTER-than-most bikes which are available without waiting for a custom builder to cobble a frame together for you are:

COLNAGO
DE ROSA
MERCKX
​

For a mass-produced, ready-to-ride bike, I would choose a BIANCHI.

GUNNAR frames are a great value amongst steel frames.

Again, the fore mentioned bikes will be better if you choose Campagnolo components, first, and Shimano, second -- I use a blend of the two.

You won't know until you try one.

I'd find a local bike shop when you arrive, and try a few out. If you're primarily using it for transportation, you might want to opt for a hybrid over a road bike. They're easier to maneuver and more comfortable, and you can load them up with racks, bags, etc.

But, if you'd rather a road bike, I'd recommend something in steel (or composite if you're looking >$2000). Aluminum bikes are pretty harsh and road bike wheels/tires are quite stiff.

You should also ask yourself whether or not you want specific bike shoes that clip in to the pedals. They're great for training and racing, but a nightmare downtown.

 

[Chapeau!]

Treks do it for me.
