Do Campag do an electronic shifter yet? genuine question.......I don't know.

Yes, they call it EPS. Available on Record, Super Record and Athena groupsets. Interestingly not on Chorus though, which is the one between Athena and Record.

No I meant the original bike linked, the Cube. Cycleops said originally it's 5k, Although he is overseas so can presumably avoid the VAT

I couldn't see that numbnuts was referring to the recumbent. Although if it's Swedish, the price should be in sek rather than eur

Chorus EPS just announced, Athena EPS is being dropped.

I guess the market wasn't there for "entry level" EPS.

[QUOTE 3154723, member: 30090"]Two things spring to mind.

Ultegra group when this should be Dura Ace or SRAM Red.

And it's a DF design.[/QUOTE]

It is Dura Ace, but when you click on the picture it strangely changes to another bike with Ultegra on!

They advertise it as having nothing left to be desired or improved. Is that so?

I personally don't like either of the colour schemes, and one thing that would improve it was if the image that appears on the site was the same as the one when you click "enlarge" - instead of two completely different colour schemes.

I also don't desire a Cube so one thing left to be desired would be for it not to be a Cube.

There are probably others!

You would think they could spring for a bottle cage or two.

 

[Accy cyclist]

There are two things i don't like. The naff colour scheme and the price without VAT. When those wonkers give it the "You don't pay effin road tax" blah blah where do they think that thousand quid in tax ends up?

Canyon do the same spec for cheaper !

A better spec for cheaper...

Somehow it's even worse looking, though. Canyon's current black on dark grey paint jobs are a bit drab.

It's crazy light and from the reviews it is a great bike, but... if you looking to spend that sort of money you could talking to them about a custom made Parlee, get it built as you like plus having tried a Z5 they ride amazing, oh and regards colour, you can get it custom painted any colour you like This months Cycling Plus says ubyk will do you a free motion capture fitting on any bike over £3000. http://www.ubyk.co.uk/catalog/search_results.php?searchcat=0&MF_ID=214 or... a Look 695 (I've got one, had it for two years and it's bloody fast).

 

[stephec]

Needs the Shimano groupset taking off it, and replacing with Campagnolo.

Beat me to it.
