Again

 

[toeknee]

I know I know. Still consider it a bit stretched, so taking the opportunity to buy one that fits right.
Any ideas Vicks.

 

[vickster]

The one that fits right

And isn't black

And doesn't say Specialized A grand won't buy you carbon anyhow...I expect

 

[toeknee]

Nice one, don't worry I will make sure this one fits......

 

[vickster]

Dolan can't be too far from you, I'd go there, good feedback of the in store service on here

This one with SRAM Rival is a grand

Was looking at the dolan before, but in the blue/black/white scheme, any experience of sram, compared to shimano, the Planet X carbon bike in the, found a bargain thread, is also on my list, as is the 2015 cube sl.all very confusing, as this will be the best bike I have bought , I am been particularly careful.

Thanks
Tony.

Yep I only ride sram on geared bikes, I can't brake from shimano hoods (at least sora, tiagra, 105). Sram hoods are a so much better shape for me, look much less chunky too. Double tap not for everyone though

 

[toeknee]

Thank you vickster, for your advice.

Nice one, don't worry I will make sure this one fits......

Do you want to buy my Jamis steel bike?

Only joking, I'm never selling it. Seriously though, the 56 is bang twixt the Defy ml and quick L in sizing terms...

 

[SteCenturion]

I have 10 speed Sram Force on my sunday best @toeknee & now Shimano 105 on my +1 C2W bike, so will have to get used to mixing it up a little.

2014 Cube agree GTC for £899 @ www.winstanleysbikes.com toeknee, with 10 speed Shimano Tiagra, all carbon frame/forks though.

or they have 2014 Giant Defy 0 with 105/Ultegra mix, not sure what sizes are left in each though, will have a look later.

 

[SteCenturion]

Leisurelakes tell me my Cube should be with me in a couple of weeks.

In red ?

 

[Cubist]

I'll be putting my 2014 Peloton Race in the classifieds soon. If anyone needs a test ride and can get to west yorks to see whether a 56 would suit them, feel free to message me.

 

[Cubist]

In red ?

Of course. Didn't want to upset Vickster.

 

[toeknee]

Mmm... 2015. Peloton sl. Mainly ultegra, 105 shifters, 11 speed,. £999.

Or

Cube peloton pro. 2014. 105/ Tiagra mix. ...£649.

Few ideas up to now, what do the cc'ers think.....?

 

[Cubist]

One year old Peloton Race, 105 throughout, Mavic Aksium wheels, 56 frame, maintained by an anal retentive, for about the same as the tiagra version? Ridden for some sporadic commuting, and a few leisure rides, but not massive mileage as all my fun riding is done off road. Let me know if you're interested. Otherwise the answer to your question above is the SL.
