Having just recently bought the Ribble Evo Pro Carbon with 105 groupset for £1k I have to say Im very impressed. Had I had more money I would have gone for the Gran Fondo....

Colleague of mine has one - uses it for a daily commute through London. The only thing he says is he wishes he'd gone for a triple rather than a compact groupset

Had some problem or other with the wheels when it arrived
