Firstly, hello all. Its my first time on here so please be gentle with me!!! Names Gareth and live in South Wales.
Quite new to cycling,been at it bout 2 years. At the mo I`m riding a cannondale caad5 but thinking its time to upgrade to a carbon bike. Have visited lots of LBS (and sum not so local),looked at loads of bikes. Thought I was decided on a Cube Agree GTC Pro (2011 with 105 groupset -£1350), then last week I was offered a Pinarello FP5 (2009 with Campag Centaur groupset -£1000). Both are brand new.
I mostly ride the South Wales valleys and Brecon Beacons,doing bout 40-50 mile rides.
Any opinions on the bikes, cheers

You will find this place quite friendly with loads of opinions and ideas. Don't be afraid to visit some of the forums here. The Pinarello would be my choice. The Centaur groupset works well and is midrange.
