either the Felt F95 or the btwin triban 5.
both the Felts are very similar set up but the F95 is a better colour and cheaper.
the triban 5 has a better groupset than the triban 3 and its a nicer colour.
personally I'd have the Felt F95.

The special deals on the Felts at Wiggle look good value. I think that is what I'd go for.

I've a Felt 85 from Wiggle and no complaints there. I've also heard really good things about the Triban3/5. To be honest I ended up going with the colour I liked best!!

Good answer!

I'd have the Felt Z95 as it's a more comfy ride... plus I had one before and kinda wish I'd kept it!

Thanks for the opinions. I was swaying to one of the Felts so even more likely to go for one of them now. Cyclist33, is there much difference in the comfort between the F95 and Z95?

The Z range is more sportive-based i.e. they have a more "relaxed" frame geometry.
The F range is a more aggressive race-orientated frame geometry.
