After much deliberation i think i am going to order a Cayo Team Replica this weekend. Been thinking about the Ribbles and Pxs etc but i am too concerned about sizing and back up aftersales service etc. Wiggle have been super helpful and with their 30 day returns policy this bike seems a no brainer as long as it fits. A bargain at £1500.

This bike has a great spec though i cant find the weight listed.

Is there any reason why i shouldnt get one???

    Colour?
    Wheels a touch on the heavy side?

    Good value all the same.

    It's a nice bike with good spec. I wouldn't want a compact myself, but otherwise looks great.

    Had mine delivered yesterday and rode for 2 hours on flat and plenty of hills. After having tested giant TCR 3 and Cannondale Synapse, this bike is in my mind is as stif and fast as Giant, not as comfortable as Cannondale but quicker. Spec is great, Sram Force is superb and at 1500 super bargain compared to the two above. Buy it!!

    I'm trying to get some cash together to get a cayo. I think all three 2010 models are amazing value at the moment and I'd be happy with any of them.

    The team replica is apparently slightly heavier than the Expert but I think it looks better, I'd have to get a matching jersey though and bob my head like Gerald.
