  1. Hello....

    Seeking some suggestions....

    I purchased my first road bike at the end of March (52cm `09 trek 1.9 for 2300AUD which was reduced from 3400 as it was a last years model). I`ve been riding lots since and loving it. I ride about 250 + k every week. I`m getting into road racing and crits and have serious bike envy! My bike is alluminium and I`d really like something lighter, faster...etc, etc!! I am aware that I could simply improve my current bike with better wheels, was looking at Shimano DA7580`s but feel I`ll only be putting off the inevitable...

    I`m also working hard on my fitness/training etc as I`m well aware that it is me as the rider who propels the bike....a snazzier one won`t necessarily make me faster [IMG]bikeradar.comicon lol.gif[/IMG]

    That aside, I spotted 2 bikes which seem like really good deals to me and wonder whether anyone has any suggestions.

    1.Trek Madone 5.5 pro 2009 retailing at 4000AUD reduced from 8000 supposedly. It is a 2009 model after all. I could possibly get few extras thrown in as I bought my first bike from this shop.

    2.Colnago CLX 2.0 Ultegra which is a 2010 model retailing at circa 3700 from Evans Cycles.

    Other suggestions very welcome too!

    One final thing, were I to sell my current Trek, what could I expect to get for it?

    many thanks in advance 🙂
