We Bought Used Bikes For Under $2000 | Which Was Best?

[@gcn]

Which is the best £2000 used bike we could buy? Let us know 👇

[@santiagobenites]

Alex's Cannondale FTW!

[@mohdshazwan4512]

TREK bike always my dream bike😍

[@peterfranzjr.1190]

CLEARLY MARK'S TT BIKE WAS THE BEST, ITS ALREADY SOLD!!! Seriously though, as a triathlete, trail runner, MTB, gravel, cyclist, etc it's clear to see that Marks was the best value per $$

[@lieblingsleguan1591]

The blue Cannondale is not from 2019, it's from 2014! In 2019, the SuperSix had straight fork blades, that's why I looked up what year that frame colour is really from. Given it's a ten year old frame with 6800 Ultegra without the Ultegra crank set and not the high mod version of the frame, it's way overpriced even with the Enve wheels. For reference I had the exact same frame from 2015. I bought it new in January 2016 (in sale obviously) for 1900£. It had cheap Mavic wheels but an almost complete SRAM Red22 group set (Cannondale SI crank set and Force22 cassette). I loved that bike. But it had a total clearance of 29mm between the chain stays, so riding 23s with a measured width of 25mm, there was 2mm on each side between frame and tire. There was a lot of variance between frames in that regard looking at forum discussions from the time. A very nice bike, but not a superbike by any means. It's a ten year old mid range bike.

[@00100Matt]

@@lieblingsleguan1591 Yeah I also laughed when they called it a 19'... we learned that buycycle will let you falsely advertise your bike, very useful

These videos remind me of the challenges from Top Gear. Keep them coming! Watching Alex and Si attack each other senseless was like racing your best mates on a Saturday morning. The gamesmanship of Alex in the time trial was a laugher! "Disc brakes, told you!?" "I purposefully rode through all the big puddles." Absolute gem friends, keep up the relationship development and trash talking.

[@triwaldaus]

Bought a 2014 Super 6 EVO Black Inc in 2017 and liked it so much I just bought another Cannondale - a 2013 Super 6 EVO Hi-Mod. Super light (5.8 & 6.8 kgs respectively), all rim brakes & mechanical groupsets (SRAM Red). Easy to maintain & repair. These bikes are pure magic.

I'm with Si. Best looking, modern bike from top manufacturer and best value for money. Well deserved win, congratulations Si 🎉

We love our triathlon friends really 😉 This is what we like to hear, inspiring people to get out on the bike is what GCN is all about 🙌

[@AndrewBushnell]

Taking advantage of the glut of new bikes in manufacturers' warehouses, Si went and picked up a brand new bike with lifetime warranty on the frame, two year warranty on the drivetrain, and service perks from his local Trek dealer. Smart.

[@struancochrane753]

@teleotto and as this video shows, you won't get much for it. Cherish it, and or loan it to a young person in the club to get started on. I gave an old group set to the local club that made a bike up from donated parts so young people could cycle with the club and get an entry into the sport.

2k IS insane imo tho lol unless got a 1000w battery in it :)

[@iokarus]

They said £2k but then sold the Vitus for £1145, I feel like they could have done the same video for a lot less budget. They made a chunk of a loss on the bikes for only owning them a few weeks!

[@BizarreBear]

By the way, 2k is considered entry level or budget in the road cycling world.

[@PazLeBon]

@@BizarreBear hardly mate, i saw a bike at decathlon for 149 euros

[@BizarreBear]

@@PazLeBon Cool. I saw a car on Facebook market place for $800. Things can be below entry level, you know that, right? An “entry level” car would be around 10-20k. Just because you can find something cheaper than entry level doesn’t mean that the entry level item is no longer entry level. You realise that pros in the Tour De France use bikes going up to 20k? 2k is 1/10th of that. If you walk into an actually decent bike shop rather than Walmart, the cheapest bike you will find is probably around 1.5k.

Absolutely. I own a 6.9kg 2016 EVO. Still has rim brakes, still has a mechanical groupset, still has the old school seat stays where they belong with a non-slanting top tube. And at all black, it's still a looker even when I've pulled up on guys with the latest $12K rigs.

Buycycle is great. Bought a Cervélo S5 from 2023 whichwas supposed to arrive in new condition - it came instead with a crack on top tube, bent gear hanger, many scratches etc. Got a full refund without any problems and the customer service is great - very responsive and nice people!! Have since then bought another bike for great value at Buycycle and will for sure buy again! Only downside is delivery by UPS which is crap😂
