…so if I’m hoping to pick up an end of line 2012 bike when should I start looking, anyone spotted any bargins out there yet?

£1k to £1.5k budget

2013 bikes are already out – mainly cos most places ran out of 2012 road ages ago!

Shall I re-title this thread to “when’s 2014 start then?” 🙂

try paulscycles – there’s a couple of cheap cannondales on there – depending on what size you are – unfortunately my budget for a new road bike is non existent otherwise I’d have snapped one up

The whole things getting bloody ridiculous

Evans is worth a look

Dunno, I’ve seen offers of arround 25% off on 2012 cannondales in the LBS and a few other onine shops and a few opther tempting offers on other brands. I suspect those are more to do with the crap weather dampening down what should otherwise be a boom time for bike shops with Wiggins in the TDF and the olympics round the corner.

And I still think that we’ll see good sales this Autumn as european distribuutors send their stock here as the £ rises against the euro.

That and 11 speed dura ace next year is goig to be making a lot of this years bikes unfasionably obsolete.
