i would recommend building your own bike around your needs, likes, specification etc or else getting all the parts separate and letting a bike mechanic put it together for you if your not confident.

Viner Maxima? £3200 rrp for the frameset (custom sizing and carbon layup to suit your requirements, custom paint if you want as well, looks gorgeous & runs beautifully), decent bit left over for spec.

Argon 18 Gallium Pro Dura ace and mavic Cosmic Carbone SLR looks fab rides like a dreammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

For £5000, I wouldn't bother with self/or bespoke build. Off the shelf is hard to beat at almost any price. Top of my list would be one of those Di2 equipped bikes on Wiggle

If I had £5k swilling around spare and fancied a bike I'd spend about £4500 on wine, women and partying. The rest I'd waste.

BMC Team Machine SLR01. You b@&%$*d!

I suppose if you're spending that sort of wedge then it's because you can. That's a fair enough position but unless you're a top rider I suspect the marginal performance gains will be negligible and you're also unlikely to notice the difference between £2550 and £5000.
If it were me I'd buy a £2.5k tourer and a £2.5k road bike.

+1. Or a £2.5k roadie/tourer and a £2.5k mtb.

There's lots of 15lb bikes out there for less than £5k.

Two bikes.

Way too fragile - I can see it's got a small crack in it already

 

[e-rider]

how much is the one on the left? I've got a few quid spare!

 

[newbiebiker]

You can already buy two bikes with that amount.
