Right now I have a 1984 Lotus Legend Compe in really nice condition.. I am looking to upgrade and had my eye on a Cannondale CAAD12 Ultegra I can pick one up for around $1400 new...Like to get a little feedback should I be looking at carbon bikes? or bikes with disc brakes.. I do manly street riding about 10 - 15 miles at the time average speed right now around 15mph according to my phone app. Plan on building up to 50 and 100 mile group rides..
Thanks
Anthony
The CAAD12 is an awesome bike. Rides a tad bit rougher than a carbon bike but you can't beat that deal.
