I really don’t know what to do. There are carbon frames from China. You can put yourself on something that is probably comparable to a 8k bike for 2-3k if you go that way.

Cannondale supersix 3 ultegra with a lifetime frame warranty for 4k with a pro fit.

Now I’ve got Lynskey on the brain. There are also used bikes. When you buy used high end people take care of them so you could find a good deal that way. Part of me says fix up my 20 year old road bike with Shimano 600 and ride that.

With the Ti bike I’m thinking if I cut the corners to save $600 and not get disc am I going to be sorry a year later?

Was so much easier when I just hung around the bike shop and bought what Mark told me to get.

Cannondales are made in China. Everything (almost) is made in China. Chinese carbon frames are OK. Fit is the main thing. Don’t do a 20 year old bike. That’s like doing a ten year old computer. Better to get a used 5 year old bike, except I don’t like used carbon.

If you weigh more than 200 lbs., you might regret not getting disc brakes. Otherwise, I don’t think you would.
