That first Merida looks the bollocks!!

[@Hytrinas]

I have Merida Reacto 6000 with 105di2. Bought and swapped wheels for carbon ones. Sick bike.

Some cool bikes. I just sold my gravel bike I wanted some thing that could do both gravel but really excell at endurance. I found a Bilenky custom from the builder. Just bought it for $3000 usd I might have to spend a couple hundered with him to upgrade the crankset to what I want. I would say go with a custom steel bike. He changed the cassette out for me, crankset to 165 mm arms like I want , and stem to get my fit and gave me a frame builders custom fit to size. I can’t wait to get it in a couple of weeks. Super lucky to find this one that a buyer backed out on and John O will be happy it’s got Campy centaur on it so I will get to experience some of that Italian luxury 😂

The planetX pro carbon is a bargain. Depending on spec they start at just over £1500. Worth a look if you do a follow up video Dan. 👍

Just recently swapped out the mechanical Ultegra 11 speed groupset to the upgrade wireless Di2 12 speed one & also changed the stock rims to 50mm Prime Black Edition carbon rims on my 2021 Merida Reacto 6000 disc, happy day's.

That Colnago is a looker and tons of bike for 1800!

[@peterritchie4881]

Got any affordable tri bikes? New are all £3k plus.

[@dannyr6040]

could we have a video of affordable bikes that are actually affordable for normal-er people- like £400- £1000, 1700 is not affordable for many people. bit out of touch this vid like. usually a fan

[@TriathlonDan]

@@dannyr6040 hey Danny, thanks for that - I did really toy with the use of ‘affordable’ in the title, the content of the video isn’t scripted at all. I absolutely understand that the term is subjective and lots of people won’t be able to drop that sort of money on a bike. Webuycycle only sell bikes with a resale value of over £1000, so this was essentially a selection of the cheapest bikes that they had in stock. I’d love to cover more ‘proper’ entry level bikes, I just don’t have one / have access to any at present. On reflection maybe ‘entry level’ would have been a better title, but even that’s open to interpretation as I wouldn’t say di2 is entry level for example. Hope you understand it’s ’just a KZbin title and video’ and I’m not just flexing sworks etc 🤣👍

@@TriathlonDan i totally get its just a title etc and i really wasn't making the comment to sound like a dick or anything. just feel that there could be people put off by 'entry" level bikes being 1700 quid- when this is actually not the case. i have a cube got it for 400 quid off eBay and its more than capable, and has done, ironman, sprints and long rides. i suppose we all have to sell out to get paid and its your work. just hope people don't take it as gospel

[@TriathlonDan]

@@dannyr6040 no you’re being totally fair and I get your point, I just think it’s still a fair way to title the video. In the actual video introduction I describe it in more detail as ‘towards the lower end of the market, lower price point’. That’s really cool, I had a similar bike in the past too. I’d just say that £400 to some people isn’t affordable either, so where do you draw the line 🤷‍♂️. For clarity Webuycycle have never paid me and I’m not on commission or anything (I actually declined it so that I can always share my honest thoughts etc) I was collecting my bike that they’d bled the brakes up on for me as I couldn’t get them sorted, so I just did a few videos while I was there. They’re good people based locally to me and I like supporting good people where I can, especially if it helps me make content. For additional transparency if this video does 1-2k views it will make £5-7 in total revenue, which I then have to pay tax on, this isn’t a moneymaking scheme 👍
