Bought just before xmas, ended up costing me £600, which I think is pretty good for such a bootiful bike :D

Need to change the saddle, but apart from that an happy with it.
Might upgrade the drivetrain and brakes in time.

    Ive got one of those as my winter bike, really like it, frame will be well worth a few upgrades as time goes on too, its got a good personality and feel to me. Change of wheels makes the world of difference by the way, although I ride mine on its originals now that its my winter bike.

    As for drivetrain, mines Sram Rival now... when I did it I only had the bike a couple of months in which I rode loads, but I made a decision and sold all the 105 on eBay and swapped to rival for cranks (and BB), both mechs and shifters ...and with the deals I got it cost me less than £30 to get the whole swap done, wouldnt change a thing on it now, a great mile eater. Enjoy.

    You'll enjoy that in just a few months time. Very nice looking. I like the idea of changing to Rival too. I suppose if you can't get Campag...

    Was looking at upgrading to rival, seems the 2010 peloton spec is the same as the 09 aerial which is a shame.

    Dont think the budget will stretch to new wheels just yet, though I have a mate who works in CRC, so might see what discount he can get me :wink::wink:
