Seeing as my Boardman pro carbon is another six weeks away I'm starting to look elsewhere for a bike before the summer deserts me. :roll:

Has anyone got a Focus cayo Pro? http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Focus_Cayo_Pro_2009/5360037583/ How do you rate it? Anyone know if it'd be a better bike than the Boardman? The wheels seem to be the weak link in the package, bloody heavy those DT's. :(

Is it worth waiting for a Giant TCR or a Scott Addict to come up in the 09 sales? :?

Any suggestions around the 2k mark?

    have you tried epic? they already (i.e. no need to wait for sales) have good deals on addicts (1899 for addict r3 ultegra sl) see what they'll do a dura ace one for?

    its a great price for the spec - dura ace and all carbon forks.

    Many (most) brands have alloy steerers at this price and they are HEAVY but not the Focus.
    I took a risk on a 2007 Focus Izalco extreme and have no complaints whatsoever - it turned out to be a great buy at the time.

    Also I believe you have the 7 day ride exchange with wiggle. so long as the sizes suit I would buy with confidence. The wheels can always be upgraded later. The bearings will be superb, if not the lightest rims.
