Looking to upgrade to a better road bike. Not looking to buy new. Hoping for carbon frame and wheels, disc brakes, and quality components. Currently I’m on a carbon 2010ish “Scattante” with rim brakes, Ultegra parts, and aluminum rims. My cogs are getting worn down and sharp. Wheels aren’t true. Lots of squeaks and clicks. Paid $250. Been riding about a year.
Found this 2020 “Blue – Chinook” for $3000 USD. Worth it?
Frameset: BLUE-TEC High Modulus T-800 Carbon Fiber
Wheels: AERUS 50 AERO disc carbon wheels, 50mm depth by 26mm wide
Shifters: Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8070 Hydraulic 2x 11-Speed Dual Control Levers
Front Derailleur: Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8050 2x
Rear Derailleur: Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8050-GS 11-Speed, supports a maximum of a 34t largest
Cassette: Shimano R8000 11-Speed, 11-30t
Handlebar: Aerus Carbon Foil+ Aero Road Bars with Integrated Cabling for ACR Stem and Headset
Stem: FSA Road Alloy with ACR Internal Routing and Headset Spacers
Based on my research, Blue Competion Cycles has been around awhile but has changed hands 3 times in the last 10 years. However looks like a quality bike. I normally ride 20-30 miles at a time at 18-22mph, but would like to start going further and faster.
