I am considering getting my first cardbon road bike and like the look of the Ribble Gran Fondo.

Does anyone have one and how is it or does anyone have any other suggestions. My budget is about £1200

    very nicely noticed the ride isnt as bumpy compared to my aluminium bike mine is the standard campag veloce build which is very smooth but with your budget maybe go for the centaur or i would say upgrade the wheels as the bike does feel a little heavier with the wheels i have at the moment.

    Two colleagues in work have recently got the Grand Fondo and they are both very pleased with their new bikes. I reckon they are an absolute bargain - especially if you can also wangle them on the ride to work scheme!
