Apparently a Wilier Cento Uno is a little beyond the household budget at the moment(!), so I'm looking at something a little more modestly priced. Has anyone got a Focus Cayo or Planet-X SL Pro Carbon in the Berkshire or Wiltshire area that they'd be happy to let me have a look at? I'm a little shy of ordering sight unseen from the web. If you wanted to meet somewhere neutral to safeguard your lock-up's location then that's cool.

If it was in a medium and you fancied going out for a spin and indulging in a little bike swappery then I would be eternally grateful..! Sorry, warned you it was cheeky :D

    Failing there being any any bikes in my local area, has anyone out there got experience of both a Planet-X and a Spec Tarmac or Wilier Mortirolo/Izoard?

    I think that the test-ride thread emerged with a consensus that different frames 'ride' differently, (certainly the 6-way test in the latest c-Plus seems to confirm this), and I really like the comfort of both the bikes mentioned above that I've tried. The Planet-X seems a bit of a bargain though and gives me the chance to get the spec that I want.

    GB Cycles at Croydon have a couple of PX's in captivity, but not the whole range as their website suggests. Apparently they're in the process of building up a stock of PX stuff to start assembling it themselves rather than just retailing it.
