    After talking to many halfords stores to see what is happening with the team carbon bikes they have said that there is a shipment arriving in 3-5 weeks time. Available for preorder.

    how reliable this is i dont know but seemed like they knew it was on a boat somewhere.

    There are 3 on ebay one is a pro (55cm) one which is advertised here in this thread and also another medium.

    Buying used carbon maybe a cost effective risk when there is a rather large saving to be had.

    thought i'd let you all know what I managed to find out. ;)

    I got one in Medium! This appeared on Ebay on Tuesday and was there for 5 hours before I grabbed it:

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=260425657528

    I was worried that it wasn't legit but it turned out to be everything he said :) Definitely not ridden so it's basically brand spanking new, with 10 months of the warranty left. He even delivered it for a tenner despite living about 90 miles away.

    I nipped up the road on it and it flies :lol: - really light. I can't wait to take it out later :D but I already know I'll be wincing at every stone that pings off the carbon frame - a scary noise for a carbon-newbie!

    :shock: I had one but I am giving it up!

    I've decided to go for the Cayo instead. There is a team carbon medium reserved for me which I am going to relinquish later today in Salisbury if anyone wants to call them and grab it tomorrow?


    Reason.....
    I am impatient :twisted:
    Salisbury is too far to drive
    I don't think a fatty like myself will notice the additional 2 pounds of the cayo
    I was swayed by the C+ rating, but on rereading the review I'm not sure the Team is so much better.
