Our latest post in our series of the best bikes available on various budgets, looks at the best bikes you can find today for £1500-2000.
Within this price range you should be able to find a bike with a good quality carbon frame. Obviously like anything, the quality of carbon frames does vary, and the higher quality frames inevitably command a higher price. For example the types of frameset used by elite pro cyclists will cost way beyond our £2000 budget. However having said that, £2000 is still a hell of a lot of money to be spending and you can expect to get a seriously good bike for this level of investment.
