One option for the Cervelo S3 frame is to get the Cervelo S2 fully built bike and get rid of the unwanted components. The 2015 models with Shim 105 can be found for just under 2k€. The S2 frame is identical to S3, the fork is different though.

I see what you mean, but if I buy a complete bike when I already have a complete bike... There will be domestic problems :))
It's much easier to "hide" the cost of a frame[emoji14]

Yes, the Fuji, the Cannondale (2015-may need to part out a bike), or 2.5 fm-066's. I've ridden the last two and both are fine bikes, although the Cannondale is hands down more stable over rough pavement.

Without a doubt, Caannondale. Got my Evo nano 2014 for less than 2k with sisl2 included. I've ridden an emonda sl, not in the same league.

Recently got a supersix hm. The comfort levels for the weight, stiffness and responsiveness of the frame are incredible. I'm sure the new version is even better.

It seems that the supersix has a lot of fans around here.
I have an F29 as my mountin bike and though it is a great bike, I started hating everything in the bike industry that contains the word "integration".
That's why I started looking away from cannondale...

There are a lot of good options already presented but perhaps a Giant Advanced Pro at $2050US which is well under your budget would be a screaming value. Maybe you can ride many of these bikes in advance as they should be on the floor demos in local shops.

That's why I asked for your opinions :)
