Talk about the power of Slowman's persuasion!
Decided 2021 is going to be the year of at least one new (or new to me bike).
Already bought a Zipp 303 - tubeless wheel. That's a 1,000 dollar sign of commitment.
Now I need a bike to attach it to - my first choice is the Caledonia 105.
But with the limited availability of these hen's teeth, I am starting to look at other options.
That's why I have mentioned the QR SR-5. It comes with disc brakes as well, and can take the larger size wheels as well.
On my menu will be road racing, crits, "lazy" Ironman rides, and a bit (10-15%) of moderate gravel stuff. I won't be doing any big off road adventures that require that sort of extra capacity for gear.
Any owners of either bikes out there care to chime in?
Any other bikes that I should be looking at that would fit the bill?
Budget is no more than three grand.
Thnx.
