Yeah, tried a few places for this, none of them would bite. Even when I essentially said I'd decided to spend £1400 on a bike, so what reason could they give me to spend the money with them over another store.

Swift in Spitalfields include a Retul fit on carbon bikes. But if you are looking at reduced models, it's not surprising that a full technical fit isn't included (or indeed C2W as shops have to pay a fee)

I don't think Cyclesurgery even have the equipment which is a limitation

The 3.0 with Ultegra is £1600 for the 2014

Looks like the 5 was discontinued

Which is often the best time to buy a bike.

Indeed, except there don't appear to be many available any more and the OP is using C2W which some retailers don't accept on reduced stock
Only one easily found but it's in Durham...(OP in London)

Lucky boy.
My fiance' (spelling ?) Got me a travel neck pillow & a multi coloured strap for my suitcase one birthday.
Don't think a bike will ever enter her head even though I bought her a MTB for Xmas (never used).
Hope you bought it in your size.

LOL, my wife bought me a frying pan one year, and after complaints bought me a spirit level the next

Anyway, back to the OP. It would be Cube everyday for me........or maybe the Cannondale..........but the Cube bikes look way better, bound to make you smile
Oops! sorry about that, and it will teach me to concentrate more on the question and less on the answer in future.

Test rode it today. Great ride and yeah, it does look the absolute shoot.
The frames seem to come up quite small and also have quite a short top tube. I have a crappy Carerra road bike from Halfords, which is a 56 and comes up a tiny bit large on me (I'm 6 foot 1). I tried a 58 in the Cube today and that was a tiny bit small - going to try a 60 tomorrow to see how I get on with it. Something to bear in mind for those looking at the Cube bikes!

Agreed, I have a 54cm Boardman which is a tad too stretched and a 56cm Cube Agree SLT which is a perfect fit.

I could fit her MTB as she is 6' - 2" (2" taller than me) but it is silver & pink.
