Trying to pick up cycling with friend. Any good road bike recommendation around 1k?

Looking at Merida Scultura 300 atm. Is it worth to top up $200 for Shimano 105?

Currently, front wheel is unscrew type and rear wheel is quick release. Will eventually switch to Pitlock skewers since my wheels are extremely expensive.

IronMac, do you mean to say that your bike has a bolt for the front wheel instead of a quick release? If yes, may I know what is the spanner size for the bolt?

TIA.

hmm, 105 wont need to spend that much on upgrade whereas you need to spend more on upgrade if you were to buy a lower tier bike .





depends on whether you gonna keep the interest

Saw this on decathlon site full carbon

https://www.decathlon.sg/cycling-sports/bikes-cycling-sports/road-bikes/8441/btwin-road-bike-mach-700-105-10v.html

Quite great value but looks weird

Got a dilemma. Think whether to use back my xt spd pedals one side cleat one side platform, or a broad platform pedals with quick release.

Spd because i already spent money on it with shoes, though i don't need it on foldie.

On other hand, broad platform will be more comfortable? Quick release is good when i take public transport or put in taxi car boot

saw the budget btwin road bike also at 1.7k seems good deal, dunno about the sizing, 1,7k for 105 carbon is good deal. i suspect the frame is build by merida

Sadisticnoob, why did you suspect that they frame was made by Merida?
