Focus Cayo Expert - 10/10!
There's always loads of chat on here about the Cayo's so I thought its worth bringing up that the Cayo Expert got best on test in C+'s race bikes under œ1500! It beat a Scott CR1, PBK Team and a Condor Bellissima.
I always pay special attention to how they do in mags as I've got one of there MTBs and I recommended a Cayo (standard) to a mate while back and he fricking loves it!
I'm forever saving up to try and get a nice carbon road machine, my goal is œ1000 but then again, maybe I should wait a bit longer and hold out for the Expert at œ1400!

Don't make my willy tingle I'm afraid, good vfm I'll concede that, but lack that intangible 'something' - crossers ain't bad thou.0

I wouldn't buy one sorry
SIZE IS EVERYTHING! or at least that's what my LBS tells me.0 -
If you look at the groupset/parts you get for the money then its a lot better than others. But didnt they have a problem with the front mech on some Cayos ?
And if you do get a problem then you have to sent it to Wiggle and then it will more then likely be on the way to Germany.
To much agro for me, but if your prepared for that and have confidence in the after sales support then its a good buy.

they do look like good value - one of the guys in the office has just bought the std cayo - œ1k for an ultegra carbon bike - great value...
.... but they just don't float my boat I'm afraid.0 -
Its not pretty, granted, although it looks better in the flesh, but it is as good to ride as reported. Mate has a Giant and both of us reckon the Cayo is more responsive and more enjoyable to ride.

Unless it's a frame problem I can't see why it would be sent back to Germany. I mean its not exactly cheap for Wiggle if they had to do this as well.
Any other problems with components and stuff, I'm sure you could just send back to Wiggle if you really had to, or take to a LBS like I do.0 -
Just been reading the test in C+, really wish they'd included a planet x in the comparison. I had decided on the pro carbon ultegra alta race build for my next bike, but now I'm not so sure. It's a nice problem, but a dilemma none the less!0

I just hope the cheaper bikes will be as good as the more expensive cayo. Looking at the spec of the variado expert, i can't see why not
