September 10/15 11:24 am - Affordable Excellence - 3 Bikes That Won't Break the Budget

We love testing high end stuff; who wouldn't?  State-of-the-art bikes can help make you the best rider you can be.

However, most (meaning almost all) of us do not have the resources to drop $8000 or $10,000 on a bike and, to be honest, you really don't need to in order to get a bike that provides everything you need to enjoy yourself.

To that end, we have tested three road bikes, all $2500 or under, that offer great specs and, more importantly, the handling characteristics that make them a pleasure to ride.

Our three options are:

Cinelli Gazzette Della Strada; a light touring/commuter bike at $1799.

Cervelo R2 105; a sport bike at $2495.

Norco Search 105; an Adventure/Gravel bike at $2500.

Clicking on the links above will take you to the review for the particular bike.

Note:  All bikes are 2015 model years.
