Hi there,
I'm looking to purchase my first road bike. My budget is ~2000 CAD preferable under 2k.
I was originally looking at these:
https://www.cannondale.com/en-ca/bikes/road/endurance/synapse/synapse-disc-105/2019?sku=c12349m1048
https://www.specialized.com/ca/en/allez-elite/p/171313?color=274140-171313&searchText=90020-4254
But I came across this argon 18 krypton for 1600 used. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?adId=1504778226 It's from 2012 which has be quite concerned. Is a 105 groupset from 2012 okay?
or should I just buy an aluminum frame with a brand new 105 groupset. I did message the sellar and can lower the price. With tax and everything it could be half the price of a brand new aluminum bike.
From the research that I've done, I want shimano 105 groupset. And hopefully my budget can get that.
As I'm sure you can tell I'm new to road cycling and any advice would be really wonderful.
Thank you in advance
