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]

[@kithinders1086]

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.

[@gcn]

[@jackroutledge352]

Yeah, the racing each other format makes good telly, but isn't exactly useful consumer advice. I'd prefer a "living with a £1000 used bike" series

[@brandondenney9179]

Now that’s a video!

[@petercarparelli]

this is exactly what GCN needs to do more of. Top Gear meets bikes.

[@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.

[@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.

[@mechy2k2000]

For real ,where did he find that emonda sl6 with ultegra??

[@Ryan.T89]

@@mechy2k2000Look online or trek dealers. Theirs loads of old stock going cheap as I got a 2021 SL6 brand new for £1950. I seen the SL5 models for £1600 on line as well.

This is all the beauty of Buycycle 🙌

[@add28]

[@elsebethko6383]

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😂

[@HeibesHealth]

Thanks for providing this insight! I’ve been looking at their site for a while, but I haven’t pulled the trigger.

[@gcn]

That's great to hear! It's so important to feel safe when you are buying second hand - experiences like this allow you to buy in confidence 🙌 What bike did you go for the second time?

[@TubeStoo]

I almost bought my last bike from buycycle. Finally bought it from cycle exchange. They advertise on buycycle, so I got the same bike, but it was cheaper on their own site and I traded in my old bike. Buycycle are a great site, shop around, buyers market.

I love this hobby. I do not have some sort of superbike but i love that in this hobby, your bike becomes your own and most of the time nobody near you will have one like it. I have a 2011 Trek 1.1. It is the most basic but i love the colors and i wont out grow the bike anytime soon. Until i can ride a straight at the top gear and not get tired, then i have so much more to get from my bike.

I should sell mine, but Ill probably forever regret it.... :\

[@dominicbritt]

I have a 2016 Evo - don’t ride it much but will not sell it - it’s so bloody good to ride…

[@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.

[@jamesgolding7658]

$2k is alot of money but I love the idea that you guys made a video that's not just about insanely over priced stuff that none of us will ever be able to use

[@PazLeBon]

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.

[@jaredjames7990]

Great, si is my favorite Rider on GCN. Glad you rode so well and got the win.

No matter the weather we get out 💪 Off course, this is helped by having a great clothing sponsor in AGU ☔

[@aveedub7403]

Excellent video boys, I enjoyed every minute, and loved the camaraderie and fun factor displayed. I'd go for the Cannondale as I'm a fan, but i can see the Treks appeal from a future proofing perspective!
