Any love for Focus ???

[amnesia]

I am attempting the Max Hurzeler 167 in Mallorca in 11 days time. As a reward to myself for all the long, dull (mostly freezing) hours put in training I am going to buy a new bike and have been looking at the Focus range.

In particular, the Focus Izalco Pro 2.0 looks like bargain of the year... the frame appears to be the same frame used on the team bikes, with Ultegra DI2 and 3T finishing kit for just £2670. The wheels (as usual) are the weak link in the chain, but I have some Ksyrium Elites that I will put on anyway.

I can't find much in terms of reviews on the wonderweb, but there doesn't appear to be anything bad said about them.

Anyone have any thoughts ?

Cheers,
Daniel.

How about less than £2,000 for a similar set up. Not 3T finishing and again not the greatest wheels, but something to consider - http://www.pearsoncycles.co.uk/store/product/46387/Ridley-Excalibur/

Daniel. I am also looking at the Izalco Pro. Agreed re the wheels, but I have a pair of Dura Ace C35s to use.
