Merida Scultura Comp 905-Di2 M/L.... it's a bike on CC's For Sale thread, being offered for sale by Big Tam... have a look:

"....For sale, Merida Scultura Comp 905-Di2, size M/L, spec on link.

http://www.merida-bikes.com/en_gb/bike/2013/215/Road_Fitness/Scultura Comp 905-Di2

This bike has covered less the 200 miles and is as new, the actual frame was replaced by Merida, under warranty and has never been ridden, the running gear etc. is 2102 spec, the frame 2013.

I am selling because I injured my hip last year, shortly after purchasing the bike and even after an op, I am still not able to ride.

The bike will come with the Shimano Di2 diagnostics tool (imported from the States, around £240), Merida carbon water bottle cage (£25), Ultegra pedals (£70) and brand new Rubbino pro slick tyres (£40).

I am "5 "10, the bike will fit up to around "6 "2, I will package and post for the price asked.

I am looking for £1600 for the full package, no offers, that is half the retail value and the same as an Ultegra Di2 group set."

The dangers of asking for advice on the internet

The best thing is to go to some shops, get a shortlist and then ask. There are probably 100+ bikes that meet the spec (new, let alone used)

£1250 for the Merida seems a very good price if you want the electric malarky

I think you can get a Tarmac SL4 with 105 or Tiagra for that money.

Yep, 2014 model year Tarmac SL4 with 105 shifters and Tiagra front mech, £1600 or £1400 if you can find a friendly dealer :-)
