c2w scheme has been sorted - we are goin with evans cycles this

so is it going to be the

caad8 sora triple or
synapse sora triple

Do you want a more race orinted bike or something more upright and comfortable? Go ride them, presuming this is a commuter bike, it depends which works best. I don't think either can take a properly frame fixed rack...

thought the caad 8 sora was a compact double? well it was when i was in evans.

get the jamis satellite comp instead!

why the jamis???

its cute, different, more zippy than the synapse and more comfy than the caad, more practical than either, is on a big sale price at the moment, takes rack and panniers...

Or a £720 Fuji, just cos it has Tiagra not Sora (but double). £180 off vs £80 for the Jamis

needs to be a triple - lots of hills for a fat lad to climb in south wales.

yes but the fuji is just another alu bike and a bit of a dull one at that, whereas the satellite is somewhat more unusual and definitely a good ride.
