I'm after a winter road bike, will be used for commutes (100 miles a week) and weekend rides when the weather is poor. I'd like it to be a reasonably quick bike and not tourer geometry.
I have a CAAD9 and a Carrera subway at the moment, but would like a winter road bike. The CAAD9 is great and I has been through last winter, although it does get tiresome when using it through the week and having to fettle with it to be ready for the weekend (and vice versa). With that in mind I would prefer something that has proper mudguard bosses and hopefully means a few more options for the week/weekend.
The C2W is likely to be with Cyclescheme, although this has yet to be conformed.
At the moment I have:
Ribble winter trainer. Essentially £700 with Tiagra groupset. Positives - cheap, good reviews. Negative - have to fork out a £50 admin fee for using a C2W voucher, can't try it.
Tifosi Ck7 Veloce. £800 odd - best winter bike on review in this months Cycling Plus. Has Campag groupset that I am unfamiliar with? Not sure if local shops will have these in store?
Kinesis T2 - £RRP 950+. Good review in cycling Plus. Can I source one locally?
Thoughts/other options?
