Urgent help needed please ref Focus Cayo

I started a thread on friday ref the Team Replica. Having looked in detail at the 105 and Ltd Edition i am starting to think these are better value. That said i really want the TR as it has Sram Force and a nice DT Swiss wheelset but this is going to cost £500 more and that is an issue for me right now.

Question is i cant decide what is the best value (105 or Ltd). Does anyone know much about COLE ROLLEN wheels? Are these better than Fulrcum 7s? Also is the FSA chainset better than the R600?

I want to order today so i dont miss out on the currnet discounts but i am really struggling to do a comparison and i dont want to buy the wrong bike.

I'd have thought the Cole/Fulcrum wheels would be pretty similar. And reliable. Though quite heavy. FSA chainset looks nicer than 105 in my view.

The expert looks good value at £1299 but, to be honest, getting a DT swiss/SRAM Force bike at £1499 is staggering.

If you can't afford it why not put the £999 you could afford into a savings account and do the finance option? Save the rest over the year.

Just ordered the Team Replica!

Would have been happy with either but if i hadnt gone for the Team i would always be thinking what if.....

May need to sell my Allez Elite to fund the price gap if anyone is interested.

Good choice. You'll love SRAM. I certainly do. And Focus make awesome bikes.

I've just ordered the Variado Expert at £599 on my C2W scheme as a second bike. To complement my Lemond Carbon Triomphe, Mavic Kysrium, SRAM Force beast.
