    A bicycle is like making love to a beautiful woman... I don't know why.

    Doesn't matter really, if you have a compact I'd go with an 11-23 cassette. But even then, a 12-25 would be fine...

    You don't use the small ring unless it's a hilly race.

    I have a 52-37 setup on my racing bike FWIW.

    ah ok cheers. I think I'd be happiest on a compact 12-25. I'd need to bike for Sunday runs and less competitive events too. It's very hilly round here and I think a 23 is a bit daunting.

    It`s a tough job choosing a bike.So far you`ve looked at Scott CR1,Scott Addict and the Cannondale Six
    Really There isn`t a bad bike among them,go look at a few get a feel for them and you may find what your looking for,i wish you the best of look it`s a tough one.

    thank you - I've seen a few - and test ridden a Bianchi Infinto. The Infinito could be the bike for all purposes. But I like the look / black colour of the Cannondale and I like it's classic looking sleek lines! I might have to stretch to the Ultegra version which is white though :(

    ARR well call me vein but that was the reason i didn`t go for the Cannondale.
    I wanted the SuperSix Hi/mod RED groupo.But i found the colour scheme horrid.
    And i just couldn`t stretch my budget to the next model up which has a far better paint scheme IMO that is.I`m really happy with the way i went in the end.
    I`m building an Addict SL up myself its in the your road bikes section.
    I`m enjoying waiting for the bits and building it.
    Looking forward to seeing what wins your money.
