Sorry for the stock imagery, don't own a camera and I'm crap with the camera phone, but it is a 2011 Trek Madone 4.5 and is my first road bike in close on 20 years.

Here's my roadie, Reid Aquila

Used mainly for riding to and from uni and keeping fitness up. For a budget bike it feels really good. Had it for the last 12 months and hasn't skipped a beat. Anyone looking for a budget road bike I highly recommend one of these.

I have a 2010 Scott Speedster 30 that I paid $995 for at the start of 2011. You can now get a 2011 model for $999 on bikeexchange.com.au
It's a great value bike. It's got a really good alloy frame, carbon fork, 105 rear mech with Tiagra shifters and front dr. It seems to go quite well. I'm new to roadies and like the compact gears. I don't have the legs for the big gears.
I don't now if it's in your budget, but I'm quite happy with mine.


I changed to black bar tape and have tried a few different saddles as I don't like the Scott stocker. Weight? No idea.

$390for the Aquila.

The Reid Cycles has all the information you could want on their other models, including a shipping calculator if you aren't in Melbourne.

Yeah, what he said For the price they're pretty basic, nothing a few upgraded parts here and there won't fix though

Nice. How have the wheels turned out after the "robust" discussions awhile back?

I have raced on them a few times and they feel solid.
They spin up quickly and feel easy to maintain at speed.
No flex that I can feel and they brake quietly and well.
Some issues in cross winds but that is standard with deeper wheels.
These are race day only wheels for me so I have no comment to offer about climbing or descending.
If I want climbing wheels I have a set of DA hubs laced to Stans Alpha rims or a set of Fulcrum Racing 1's.

Sumgy, That Moots looks amazing. I have all ways wanted a TI roadie.

I just put a Lay-by on this bad boy. I will get it in a month if all goes to plan :fat:

Sram Force groupo and 7.5kg (even lighter when I get some good wheels).

Coming from an 11kg road bike I can't wait!

Sumgy's bike is awesome, but those pink levers do put me off a bit - just doesn't go with the rest of the bike.
