Just bought this one!

Had a go on it and loved it, very comfortable ect. Can't wait to pick it up now! Just need to get myself a new helmet (lid, as I keep being told) haha.
Am looking at this one.. http://bontrager.com/model/09199

Are you a woman as that's a WSD helmet - you may find the sizing small if not

Specialized meet a higher safety standard - Snell - than pretty much every other brand in the UK

It's pink, which is normally a giveaway

Go to a good bike shop and try helmets on, plenty to choose from in and around Croydon - the one thing not to buy online

Bike was delivered yesterday as it was delayed so I could get the 2014 model instead, built this morning then I picked it up this afternoon. Cant wait to get out on it now!

One thing I must say, the saddle does seam super hard, will give it a chance obviously

Let me know what you think

Steve.

Went out on it yesterday wearing just a normal pair of shorts, was actually comfortable but went and grabbed some padded short anyway for an extra bit of comfort.

Off work all this week so will get racking up the milage

Nice looking bike that, enjoy. Saddles take a while to get used to, so as you say give it chance.
