Sorry, I may have misled you slightly. Buckley-Saxon were dealers for Bioracer. They had the bike fitting/body measuring system and the measurements were faxed to Bioracer and you received a 'computer print-out' a few days later. The frames were indeed constructed in Belgium. In my case, I bought the wheels and groupsets separately and assembled them myself. If I recall correctly, Bioracer was something to do with the ex-pro racer Patrick Schils who now runs the Inter-Bike shop at Marks Tey, though I'd need to check this.
Switching the fork and adding carbon 'bars and stem saves a little weight and to my mind 'deadens' some of the road buzz that I find causes pins-and-needles in my hands. It's not a big difference - in no way a miracle cure - but every little helps! Getting my position sorted and acknowledging the ageing process and switching to frames with shorter toptubes and a higher front end have done more to alleviate discomfort in hands, neck and shoulders I've found.
If your toes are going numb - your shoes may not fit as well as you think. I used to take a size 43 until about three years ago I was shopping for new shoes and went into
Condor in the Grays Inn Road. Carl there measured my feet and made me stand on a steep slope - I came out with a pair of 45's! As you age, your instep collapses and your feet lengthen. It's not always apparent just walking about but when you ride a distance and get tired, your instep weakens and without realising, your toes are pressing against the toebox. Also, you might want to try moving your cleats back and getting the pressure point a little away from the metatarsal joint; though this is probably best done only if you have shoes with a good stiff sole. I have found that paying out for top end stiff shoes is well worth it, although I am 80kg and it may not be so important for lighter riders.
