Of course it is, I’ve just read the previous posts! Doh!I think that might be £100 extra.

Another yay for the road triple!Or go old school and buy a triple!
You can have the advantage of a larger than 50 big ring for nice rolling flat terrain and the safety blanket of the granny small ring for when it goes up.
£100 for a Kuota with Shimano Ultegra is a great buy, you should be able to fit a 30t cassette without changing the rear derailleur (speaking from experience) and if money is tight you’ll probably get away with keeping the existing chain rather than buying a new longer one.
Huddersfield is generally quite hilly isn't it?
My "best" bike has a 52/36 with an 11/28 cassette, while my everyday bike has a 50/34 with an 11/32 on the back.
You can definitely tell the difference when it gets lumpy, even if the best bike is a few kg lighter.
If @Buck is still about he might have some thoughts?
