I have a Scott Addict Team Issue approx 2014, I’ve had a 2022 foil and currently an Aethos expert the Addict is by far a better bike, every ride is an absolute pleasure, it’s so quick and responsive, old school wins for me

I didn't expect that the canyon aeroad had a rimbrake version 😍
Comment from : @paradillobryledanen6559

I don’t want to buy any bike from this era with a press fit bottom bracket With this caveat, what would you suggest?
Comment from : @LloydGoldsteinMusic

Just bought a 2018 Trek Domane SL 6 isospeed, direct mount rim brakes, full Ultegra, vision carbon wheels, 1600 km… 640 euro
Comment from : @tjvanhandel

Prices of used bikes are crazy in my opinion At least in Slovenia People are asking almost 1000€ for 10 year old aluminium bikes with 10spd Ultegra xD
Comment from : @nosuperpowerman

I have a 2013 BMC SLR01 with 10sp SRAM Red that I will (probably) never sell I still love it despite also having the 2022 BMC SLR01 with Ultegra Di2 and disc brakes and Enve AR 45, which is moticeably more comfortable and faster

Havent bought a bike since 2010 when I splurged on a store demo Orbea Orca Carbon with Dura ace comps and wheels A child can lift it with a pinkie fingerbrbrWhen I feel the urge for downtube shifting I ride an 80's Bianchi with shimano 600 that I got from a police auction 20 years ago I had to replace the moldy Bianchi branded saddle, which was identical to Selle Italia classic, which is my favorite saddle next to Brooks It fits so perfect I can ride long distances without the need for padded bike shorts

Comment from : @PUPGRLPDX

Nice second hand bikes but it’s a gamble with carbon To my knowledge you have no warranty whatsoever (apart from giant) as a second owner Having had frames replaced under warranty I’d be very careful and would prob stick to aluminium
Comment from : @simmooz3528

Tnx
Comment from : @ReasonableHuman1

I have Trek Madone 52 I love it!
Comment from : @raunobane9669

I know what you mean about discs being high maintenance, I had to adjust my pads twice in 2023 That’s 5 minutes I’ll never get back Outrageous
Comment from : @dh7314

Want a road bikes with rim brakes don’t need disc brakes
Comment from : @Jestymesty

I can handle durian rider doing this because everyone thinks he's a schizo and ignores him but we do not need people pointing out specific models of the best road bikes ever made All that's going to do is drive up the prices It happened with 90's mtbs and now every reddit soybeard and xeir mother has one Can't find a good one for under 300 any more I know you need content but don't make these type of videos
Comment from : @johnsmithers284

I still use my 2011 S Works SL3 as my main bike or my 2010 Roubaix as my 2nd bike Both give great performance for my riding Now I’m in my 70th year, these bikes are more than enough for keeping me excited about getting out and riding, come rain or shine As exemplified by this great video, I’d have to literally give away these bikes if I were to sell them
Comment from : @Freeedy

I own a couple of bikes from this era Just stay away from bb30
Comment from : @harrie974

Should I buy all 16 ??
Comment from : @thomaseser8359

Snatched a 2013 Cannondale CAAD10 Ultegra a few weeks ago for 620€, a set of Mavic Ksyrium Elite (1550g for the pair) for 70€, did a few Aliexpress upgrades for about 100€ and I've got myself a trusty Aluminium frame (not too keen on buying a pre owned carbon frame) rocket that's 75kg for around 800€ !brCAAD12s are also amazing value, old Cannondales are amazing
Comment from : @Harouzame

Second hand bikes in the UK are a bargain They are much more expensive here in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is strange
Comment from : @prchise

Rim brakes on carbon wheels must have been the biggest regression in bike design/safety Thankfully disc brakes came in quickly on the back of this and restored order
Comment from : @derekmclean5603

Damn - shouldn’t have watched this Have had my eye on a very sharp looking 2015 Cannondale Supersix evo on the local equivalent of eBay here in NZ Keep telling myself that I’ve got way too many bikes But it’s so tempting for the equivalent of about 1000 quid…🤤
Comment from : @edjack1993

This is the answer for riders who keep complaining about the price of new bicycles Buy one of these
Comment from : @5891jonathan

I don't really need 16 bikes
Comment from : @oeylille

Great vid! Some rippers there!😊
Comment from : @niklaskristensson2231

Ive been doing this for years, I have a De Rosa Merak with 11 speed record, a Cannondale Black Inc Nano with sram red, Colnago c50 with 10 speed record Together they owe me less than 3 grand Australian
Comment from : @MR-dv6ms

Thank you, David, for giving these bikes the spotlight they deserve and in a way, it reminds me of something my father did when he was in his twenties in the early '60s and that was to buy and restore Triumph TR3 sports cars, British imports from the previous decade Sure, they were not Jaguar XKEs, but they were fun and attainable and we even took family road trips in them And so it is with these bikes from just a decade ago Nothing wrong with being able to afford something and being able to service and upgrade it Plus we all know looks count for a lot and that decade had a cool aesthetic And getting back to my Dad, he got involved in SCCA sports car racing in California in the '60s and even stepped away from his engineering career to build race car engines for two years, including one with the famed Bud Moore Team in South Carolina which fielded the Factory Ford Boss 302 Mustangs in the 1970 Trans-Am series And even now, I am only too happy to buy older bikes and see them bring good times again Earlier this year I presented as a surprise to a family member a 26" full rigid mountain bike in its chrome-plated splendor, adorned with pink pedals and pink bars and other custom touches for her And she loves her bike which looks and rides like it is brand-new, not decades old already And she knows it is old, I explained the story of my thrift-store find, and whatever, she knows her bike is cool 😀

Great video and i agree, the old SSE are the best roadbikes 😮
Comment from : @docsportello5833

Love my 2014 Synapse, Started riding in the early 80's but love the mid 2010's Upgraded to R8000 Ultrgra rim Could not be happier with it Really like it's Zonda wheels Takes me back every time I ride it
Comment from : @Damian-ck5lo

GIANT CONTEND
Comment from : @barianelozano2614

A bike I still regret selling, was my Pinarello Rokh, I could safely run conti gp 4000 28C which measured up to 31mm after a week of inflammation Extremely comfy ride position and the frame had the Dogma K rear curved shock absorbing stays Very very over looked and under appreciated bike, mainly because it wasn't a Dogma
Comment from : @love2wheels748

I have a 2016 Supersix Absolutely love it
Comment from : @peterbarber8053

Great vid David and nice to see recommendations like this and not just talking of the latest and great bikes which are excellent but this shows that older bikes are still relevant and brilliant today Love my Cannodales ❤ my 2014 SSE is still awesome today and always puts a smile on my face Pete 🚴‍♀️🚴🏻👍
Comment from : @n22pdf

The length of the rear derailleur gear outer on that first sl5 tarmac or horrendous It’ll definitely need a good service 😂
Comment from : @dymbag1

idk if i can convince my girlfriend that im buying 10 classic bikes
Comment from : @SyLens1

I got a giant tcr advanced 1 from 2019, I love it! Really good deal too, perfect condition but had to mess around with the front derailleur for a while
Comment from : @_Tp___

As a guy who's almost 2m tall it's hard enough for me to find new bikes that fit Finding a good used one in my size is almost impossible, even if I'm willing to travel half way across the country to pick it up
Comment from : @nekekaminger

I have that ‘71 model of the Synapse HiMod as my winter bike with full Red mech and disc, 30c tires It still flys, and crazy light
Comment from : @Thomas-fy9yc

An older top end rim bike modernised is no slower than a 10K superbike for most people best bet is to narrow the bars, reduce the crank length and use a wider rim that lets you get at least 25c or if lucky a 28c rubber My Preferred daily ride is a CAD3 that is a least a size too small, so toe overlap isn't great, but setting PR's all the time on it, particularly on descents
Comment from : @sneakycycles

Ill take that Venge, please!
Comment from : @pminiger9278

Any Caad series is a good bet re: performance and weight However, with all of these older road bikes, take care re: tire clearance and gearing options
Comment from : @ForeverDownByLaw

I have a cannondale slice 2013 aero 11speed sram rival upgraded my self and i bough it second hand and i dont regret it at all Thier some thing special about 2010 -2020 bikes you don't find no more And plus to expensive its like buyin a car or loan to a house i pass Great video❤
Comment from : @johnseq77

Nothing from Trek or Scott? How about Look or Time 😊
Comment from : @Andy-co6pn

Giant propel for 800 bucks?
Comment from : @heinik4349

Nice one David
Comment from : @Michael-s5i5j

David that Venge was just a frame 3000 That whole bike in USA would be at least $5,500
Comment from : @bigwil91

My first gen venge is the lightest bike and one of the most aero I've got It climbs better than my Canyon Ultimate disc which weights the same (the canyon was a ex canyon sram team bike)
Comment from : @AutoCAD681

Yes -- 2nd hand rim brake mechanical shifting bikes are MUCH BETTER than current bikes!brbrI don't want Di2 I don't want disk brakes I don't want 32 tires I don't want hookless I don't want tubeless
Comment from : @montrose252

Hi David off topic here Could you review foldable electric bikes like kern bikes? I am thinking in commuting to work and when I ride a sweet a bit I want to do minimal exercise as we don’t have showers 😊
Comment from : @juanhidalgo7043

How do i figure out the max tire clearance of these modern classic road bikes? I am pretty fond of my 32 mm tires on my steel 90's bike

Disc is dumb HEAVYbrbrDeep dish is dumb HEAVYbrbrFat tires are dumb HEAVYbrbrIt is a scambrbrI ride lightweight bicyclesbrbrHEAVY sucks

Comment from : @asonofdorn8442

All Carbon no aluminum or even steel
Comment from : @patrickwong4824

#Warning That damage on the chainstay is a deal breaker for me Bought my propel with same damage and chain stay snapped but got fixed and was lucky to not be sprinting at the timebrbrAlso why can't I comment on the YouTube app had to go to website

👏👏👍👍😍😍😍😍
Comment from : @firstnamelastname9013

Hi DavidbrVery informative video as always with lots of great looking bikes on the market 🚴‍♂️👍👍
Comment from : @markwright8030

Solid ideas Personally, I wouldn't buy anything without disc brakes - I ride steep hills, in the rain But, to each their own
Comment from : @BrianRPaterson

Above Category - What a shop!!!
Comment from : @markgiannasi2350

My only issue with this era is the limited tire width they support I run 32mm now and love it
Comment from : @kawabus

Buy a decent used carbon bike and sell the frame Take the parts and put them on a made-to-measure steel frame Be happy
Comment from : @MACS6USMC

0:15 2010s bikes are also my favourite bikes, most likely because I started in this decade and my preferences are probably stuck in this decade toobrbrRegular internal routing, 25 mm tires, 21 mm internal rim width max, two-piece aluminium cockpits, I pretty much don't need anything more than these
Comment from : @sbccbc7471

Can confirm that the old version of the Cannondale synapse is an absolute delight, picked one up second hand last summer and have loved it ever since
