So my 2012 Cervelo P3 has done me proud for a few years but it's time to replace it with one that actually fits me. I'm 6'2'' and with a 56cm frame I've ended up needing a 58cm seat post and a flipped stem plus spacers to make it fit me.
It was built up with a collection of Ebay bits accumulated which i'm looking to maybe keep/transfer to the next bike.
My budget is pretty limited so i'm not looking to buy the latest super bike.
So far the two choices I have are the Cannonade Slice 105 or the Felt B16. They are entry level bikes but the frames look to be the same as the better specced bikes.
I'm thinking transfer everything across from the P3 leaving me with a better fitting bike with SRAM Force(eTap coming when budget allows) and the remaining parts including the P3 frameset makes the change over just about equal.
In terms of the actual bikes i can get the Cannonade for £1300 down from £2000 for a 2016 model and the B16 can be bought for £1500.
Is the Slice really a £500 better bike or are you just paying for the name?
Is there any other comparable priced bikes with decent frames you'd maybe consider?
