Dude, sooo many, lets start with your budget and what you are going to ride it for, race, sportive, commute.

On good deals alone, have a look at the Boardman bikes via the Halfords website. 20% off several at the mo.

As Roger says though - too many options with so little info to go on

about 1500, but may go upto 2000 on o%. just pleasure/fitness riding, but do fancy do some evnts

Okay Cube Agree SL, Ultegra Groupset 1500

Boardman Carbon pro SRAM Force Groupset 1500

Have a look at the Ribble web site

not forgetting Planet X web site.

This may sound silly, but a very important factor is; Do you like the look of the bike?

SRAM Force is a very good Groupset
Ultegra may argued that it's not worth the upgrade from the 105

And Sorry Cam groupsets not used.

Boardman
Cube Agree
Ribble

Planet x


The Planet X one with the SRAM red is a very good deal

At the nigh end of your budget, of course no 0% ....in white (team) colours looks great too. Good spec for the money, full Campag Chorus

and depending on your size theres some great deals in the Canyon outlet section. as a side note I also looked at the Boardman Pro but was put off by the most recent review and the bikes light front end - it's on the bike radar reviews see:

Also looked at a Cube Agree GTC Race - £1850 but an LBS offered me 10% a 2011 bike so could be worth a look locally as they never seem to get bad reviews either

Cube Agree GTC Race at £1850 takes some beating.

If you are size 58 this. Ultegra kit and stunning look. 800 UK pounds

If you want 56 this one. Full ultegra with 8kg weight 1000 UK pounds
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=44403

I can bet you will not find higher rated better looking better equipped bike at the prices above

Good luck

Canyon Ultimate CF 8.0, arguably better frame, wheels and same Ultegra group yet cheaper at £1700 or the 7.0 with Athena if you prefer Campag
