Need help boys. Doing a LOT of riding this summer, and I'm in need of a bike to do it on. I'm currently on a 2006 Scott CR1 with Dura-ace group from that period. The bike is alright, but it's old and I don't know if I want to ride a few thousand miles on it.
What are the best ways to get the best possible value when buying a new bike? I'm trying to spend less than $2k. I'm willing to build/tinker.
I've been looking at used bikes from the past 5 or 6 years. Is a new frame but lower end group better than a slightly older frame with a higher end group?
Examples:
