The video we really need: 6 bikes you can actually find in a store today
This is the correct one. 😬🤣
Can we actually find 6?
Hahahahah true story Master!
Aluminum framesets are barely heavier than carbon fiber, every bit as strong, has a longer life and is cheaper. But why would you want disks? Rim brakes are far more reliable, don't have drag and are quiet.
@@tomkunich9401 , don’t understand why manufactures re putting discs brakes on every bike above grand ,
I know why ,more maintenance and and extra £400 !

Still riding my cannondale CAAD 10. Love it and it’s still a fast bike but not the most comfortable. But for the money I paid for it it’s been amazing. Also nothing better than dropping someone that has a super bike knowing you only paid £850 plus mavic wheels for yours!!
Cheers, the best Alu caad ever
Agree entirely, bought an MBK Pro Speed in really excellent condition for 70 Euros. I think its around year 2001. Up dated it with Ultegra R8000 group set and brakes, carbon fibre wheels, forks, stem, handle bars and seat post. Done 14000 km on it in two and a half years and I absolutely love it.
I Agree my TREK EMONDA ALR5 was my dream bike and now I own one ❤
I just built an aluminum road bike with a 2012 BMC Streetracer frame & r8k components. This bike is comfortable, agile, fast and light. It’s the perfect winter bike. I’ll add 38mm carbon wheels soon; I’m super happy!!! Ultimately, aluminum is a great material.
I've still got my Specialized SWorks Aluminium from 2004. Ultegra at 16lb 2oz, ( 7.3kg ). 200 Audax, no problem.
I have still got my Trek 1.2 from 2013. SRAM Force double tap and an ALR5 105. The 1.2 is much faster than the ALR5 but the ALR5 so much more comfortable.
I ride a Fuji Team 2.0 Road Bike with carbon forks, which I purchased used following a serious stroke. It was already a couple of years old, with rim brakes, but I still have it 6 years later, and it feels part of me when I ride it. Its light and responsive. I put a larger gear cluster plus medium cage in the back, and I've recently purchased a Fuji with mechanical discs; I'll just put some carbon bars on it, and it makes a sensible 'upgrade' for me.
I love my Fuji alum with carbon forks, speedy recovery lots of baby aspirin
Condor Italia RC.Amazing ride. My next build!
I have a schwinn fastback pro that only weighs 17 pounds. There's also a steel frame out there that weighs 19.
thank you for sharing, love all them
The Trek ALR is fantastic. Picked one up used as a temporary bike, it is a seriously nice machine.
I have the last version. Rim brakes recent Ultegra upgrade. 28mm gp 4k tires on hed rims and carbon contact points. It's comfy, light, and looks very cool in Laguna blue with yellow and white accents.
@@aaronswerling5380 Rim brakes are the way to go. I just did a very hilly course, no issues descending. Mine came with the Tiagra and I love it. Only thing I changed were the brakes to a set of 105 callipers I had. Seriously great bike. Can't complain, only thing I'm thinking of getting is a new wheel set eventually. Otherwise, I'm keeping the bike and investing the money I've saved.
Recently bought the Triban rc520 mens bike as a winter bike and bit of touring. The reviews were good except for complaints that tires were impossible to get on the rims. I thought even if i have to replace wheels the price will still be good compared to other options. When bike came first thing i did was remove a tire and try to put on again. Sure enough, it was near impossible. Tried different tire, same result. This was in my living room warm and dry. So i put Hunt 4 season on which converted easily from lock ring to 6 bolt and they are great. So with new wheels this is a great bike, does exactly what i wanted, plenty of room for full mudguards and 28mm tires. Those semi hydraulic disc brakes work fine too.
Great video. Emonda alr is fantastic.
I’ve just stepped up to a Bianchi but my little Btwin Ultra 700 af has been such an awesome little tin can - I’ve even podiumed on it!!!
Still riding my Btwin Ultra 700af. Torn on stepping up to a new bike or upgrading the wheelset to give it more life..
Nice video, but what about Mason, Kinesis and Bowman? Missed opportunity
Yeah, I'm not one usually for the "what about xxx" comments, but the Kinesis RTD is a killer machine!
They only plug bikes and gear from companies that pay them. There are much better options out there but you'll have to search for them on your own.
@@wasupwitdat1mofiki94 i agree. what have you found?
Is it just me or why are there fewer rim brake bikes in the "best" categories these days? Sorry but I won't give up my rim brakes, especially with the overpriced and finicky alternative on all but one of these bikes.
The Bowman palace 3 is a great bike. It should have been included.
Anything from Bowman, from the reviews I've read they've never made anything less than excellent.
@@jonburnell532 yes they are. I actually own two, a Pilgrims and a Palace 3, both disc, so it's a "hands on" opinion.
@@jmac74 I'd love a Pilgrims Disc. Planning on getting a 3C in a few months though to replace my busted frame.
CAAD 12/13 Kinesis Athien & the Bowman Palace are the best. I’ve been waiting months for my Palace 3C.
Road c.c shouldn’t have missed the others off.
This aged well....
I'd like to see a review of the BMC ALR.
I know, there’s nothing out there for a review on BMC
I have been riding a BMC TM ALR 1 for 12 months now and I would rate it as the best alloy bike I have ever ridden. In the process of pimping it out with some fancier wheels but out of the box it is damn impressive.
@@13overton if you are out there has your opinion changed on the ALR Aafter some more riding? And what kind of Pimptastic stuff did you do to it? You are my real world review. Bought a gravel bike 2 years ago and it has been awesome but now i want a fast bike. Before gravel really took over I lusted after the aluminum Roadmachine. If that existed i wouldn't be here. Thanks
@@ThatGuy-mn2gg Still very happy with the bike! It has a 50mm carbon wheelset which made a big difference. I have changed out the BB to a Dura Ace version, some Look Keo blade pedals and changed out all the stem bolts to titanium (the ones fitted were cheap and beginning to rust). If I could post a pic here I would. It would be great if it was available as a frameset only, you do have to go with the off-the-shelf version and go from there. Awesome bike and a head turner, you won't be disappointed. Cheers
@@13overton Thanks my friend. I wish that you could post pics. Happy riding
I ditched carbon after 30 yrs and way too many broken frames. Back to aluminum, Diverge, Trek Crockett, Spec Allez,Steel Ritchey Road Logic and Salsa Vaya Steel gravel . 2 carbon treks one a newer Madone Project 1 hang. Done with carbon broken eight frames none in crashes
How did they brake? And at what location?
Err... one does wonder how you been riding your bikes.
Totally agree with you. Carbon may make a sweet looking bike but not durable for the long haul. Sure you can treat carbon like glass and get more miles from it but most of us don't. I've own 3 carbon road bikes and one carbon mountain bike and all got cracks, so I sold them and never told the buyers. I never heard back so I imagine they were happy. I now own a custom titanium bike with all titanium parts. The only thing carbon on that bike is the ENVE fork which isn't that much to replace if and when it fails. To be honest I really like the Ti bike much better than all those other bikes.
@@ark8tct What?????
@@wasupwitdat1mofiki94 WHAT?!? You sold bike frames that were failing, which can cause serious harm, and you didn't tell the buyer?! You're a real piece of s*** man!
A very interesting video. What do you think about the Cannondale Caad13 disc in comparison with the BMC Teammachine alr two disc? thanks.
I know giant tcr slr 2018 is old model but it weighs 7.8kg or definitely below 8kg for alloy bike with heavy pr2 wheelset and ultegra groupset. You can definitely lose 300 to 400 gms by upgrading wheels and more like 200gms by changing saddle, bars and stem.
And if you take a big dump before your ride you might lose another kilogram.
Been looking at the allez sprint comp but ALL priced well over £2500.even model's from 2021.
TREK ÈMONDA ALR owner here !
also intresting with CAAD13,ALLEZ SPRINT and BMC TEAMMACHINE ALR
Where’s the Bowman ??????
Just got the specialized alley elite not the Sprint. dope freaking bike.
Rose pro sl?
YOU FORGOT TO MENTION GIANT , I RIDE A GIANT CONTEND AR1 SO FAR 1 OF THE BEST ENDURANCE BIKES I'VE RODE SO FAR , GIANT MAKES ALOT OF COMFORTABLE ALLOY FRAMES ALSO..
ok but stop yelling
Bought a 2020 carbon domane & upgraded it with loads of flash kit. What bike am I riding currently? A 2016 CAADX, it’s a corker 👍
im curious abt merida scultura 400 too?
Trek Emonda AL5 now, June 2022, cost $2300. Still worthy? They rise the price $450 . What other options do we have?
Hey, what do you think of the Émonda ALR 6 Disc? Why do you think it's not better than the one grade smaller sibling, the ALR 5?
Great bike for a low price!
How about the Standert Kreissäge???
they start out at 3000 Euro, bit steep for an aluminum frame.
also BMC Teammachine ALR for the next option nowaday
you forgot to mention the bike brand I own and also my neighbour's bike brand
Trusty road cc!
What about the Cannonade CADD Optimo 3 o 4 2021
Merida rim 400 seams reasonable option too
CAAD is always the king
Where is the origine trail? The best and fully customizable.
Ribble CGR AL?
What about some budget bikes?
These are all budget.
Nothing that will allow 700x28c with mudguards?
How about reviewing more aluminum bikes? No one has reviewed the Specialized Diverge E5 ..
I have the last generation e5 with future shock. Very fun bike. Can squeeze 650b in. Just be wary of pedal strikes and mud build up/rubbing. Running 32_40 low gear. Super fun and comfy. Of course I recommend a carbon post and some riser handlebars. Just wicked fun shredder around town or on gravel in the country.
Alloy frames with alloy rims is a harsh ride I've found. If you go alloy frame carbon rims or carbon frame alloy wheels it's much better.
Try tange cromoly...stiffer
The biggest reason these bikes have a comfort factor is the carbon seat post and forks. Aluminium bikes will in themselves always have a harsher ride, the carbon components are still the difference
I really need a roadbike since I can't afford one if u give me it will helpful since I need to go to college walking for almost 2 hours
"Versatility has increased." What does that mean?
Where is BMC TeamMachine ALR?
How's the clearance on the bmc?
I thought the CAAD was a race bike ?
An aluminium one.
No Scultura? cmon
You forgot Bowman bikes..........
haven't reviewed one for a bit but the last one did well: road.cc/content/review/222693-bowman-palacer-frame-fork-headset-2017
W l alluminio
Specialized should be ashamed charging so much for such ugly aluminium bike, uuuuggghhh!
the welds are hideous
Aye, specialized are overpriced. The power of brand...
allez sprint is actually underrated, aesthetics wise it is much better than most alloy and even carbon bikes
@@shohruhjurakulov1079 naaaahh.. It's ugly compared to say, a bowman bike?
@@xaein9515 bowman is an open mould frame, don’t compare it with Specialized
All of these aluminum bikes are "more comfortable" because they're on 25-32c tires! 😂
certainly that'll help!
Tribian is really pies of sheet🤣 I used to rode it . U can afford a Giant one that just little more expensive but comparable with all other bikes in this list
You read "campenyolo" and not "campaGnolo"
Prices are way off on this video
Yeah, prices are changing all the time right now. Even in the relatively short time since this video went live. Should probably put a *prices correct at the time of filming*
Really too bad there all disc, rediculous.
I don’t understand how bikes were so cheap pre plandemic. .! And now every bike is 30% more expensive !
Well surely if you're so convinced it was a "plandemic" you'd have your answer...
Ridley x-ride alu mk2 2018 mini-v, fast as hell, plastic bike.. no, thanks
Condor looks ugly with no racing heritage.
No racing heritage?? Condor?
