You could use another wheel set on the cheaper bike with the solid tyres, but there's no guarantee it won't be stolen.

Very true. A High end frame, built up with Gucci kit, by me, and a nice cycle based holiday / tour to ride it on, and plenty of change.

Again, that's another good option, but swapping the existing set up airless tyres to new wheels is a nightmare of a job, it would be far easier to get new wheels and a new pair of airless tyres. I haven't got enough time to do that.

I think I'll help with your obvious confusion, just once more. I'm going to Stoke, next Friday, with the bikes in a van. Then on Saturday 75 of us are starting a 190 mile ride to Southampton, over 2 days. We are stopping at Cheltenham, then continuing on to Southampton, in time for the 15:00 kick off at St. Mary's Stadium in Southampton. The route is 190 odd miles, 10 miles or so is still open to interpretation. Are you with me so far? Good. The Cervelo thing was a rush of blood to the head moment, but once I realised that spending that sort of money on a Tri bike, that wouldn't get as much use as I'd need to give it to justify having it, I had the option to not proceed with the order, which I exercised. I will be reporting on the Saints Foundation ride, on this very forum. So keep 'em peeled eh.

Point me in the direction of your OP were it states your driving in a van to stoke with the bikes???I think I'll help with your obvious confusion, just once more.

You'll be fine on either bike I would have thought but if everyone else is on fast road bikes then I would ride my lightest bike but don't worry its all downhill to Southampton as its in the South. I live around 3 miles from the Bet 365 stadium and can see the floodlights in the distance.
Have a good ride.

That's a fair point.
Talking to people like that will only result in your post getting removed, if I thought anything you said was worth paying attention to, and reporting. I don't.

Aha, a 'Stokel'. I've only reccyd the route once, and that was not on a Saturday, how's the traffic round by the stadium on a Saturday normally?

Yep - apparently Stoke City fans all arrive in the same minibus. Chaos.

Well, there was this one time I rode what some may consider to be a fair distance, in one day.

So, this is the 'charidee' get-out clause in your expressed philosophy above, I take it? At least the other riders will know they're safe in your capable and experienced hands.
