Local bike shopI've decided I want to move to a carbon roadie for sportives.
I am a massive fan of B'Twin bikes but want to get my best 'bang for buck' so to speak. I'd be comfortable spending about £2k on something.

Why carbon?
I do have a carbon bike, but it was bought purely on specification and features, the frame material was almost irrelevant. Just getting a carbon bike for carbon's sake seems to be a bit of a pointless aim, surely you want a bike that is comfortable, fast and light for riding a sportive, and these should be the factors that drive your search for a new bike. Simply specifying carbon guarantees none of these.

By getting a test ride of the ones you like the look of then not asking about carbon bikes on here because 80% of the respondents are only interested in telling you that they would by something else entirely and one guy will tell you that anymore then £10 is a huge conspiracy.
