Winner winner!

Now I'm looking at the SRAM Red edition vs the Dura Ace model.
Can't see why you'd spend the extra £600 on the SRAM model when the only difference is the groupset and wheels... Both which I would say are better on the DA model (RS81s vs Mavic Ksyrium Elites)...

Is that the Hi Mod? There isn't a Dura Ace Evo Carbon model.

Sorry, I'm looking at the high-mod versions, seems silly not to at that price.

I've shorltisted it down to the 'Dale and a Cervelo R3, but that has crap wheels, only thing putting me off.

Test riding both when I get back from Hawaii...

Out of my range unfortunately but would be intrigued to hear how you get on! In Carbon I'm leaning towards Force 22 model £700 less than Red 22 so hard to ignore that saving :-/

I've never tried SRAM on a road bike. Had full X0 gold on my Mondraker Foxy RR and loved it.

Will see if I get on with it or not and report back.
