Looking for a racing rig for events/routes like Tour te Waipounamu, silk road, atlas, el piri, Anatolia etc.
I want it to be fast but not break the bank, im not at the podium end of the field but I like to be competitive. Max budget for the bike is around €4500/$5300USD but would happily spend less.
Ideas so far include
Merida big nine tr 5000 HT
Merida Ninety Six 6000 FS
Trek Top fuel FS
Trek procaliber HT
Trek supercaliber FS
Trek Roscoe 9 HT
Norco Charger HT
Norco Revolver FS
Canyon lux FS
Giant anthem FS
Giant XTC adv HT
Marin Team HT
Thoughts? Anything ive missed on the list but should consider?
Pic for attention, me after smashing through 1700km riding from my parents house to my house.
