Dude, sooo many, lets start with your budget and what you are going to ride it for, race, sportive, commute.0

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 on0 -
about 1500, but may go upto 2000 on o%. just pleasure/fitness riding, but do fancy do some evnts0

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 Chorus0 -
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 eitherKev

Cube Agree GTC Race at £1850 takes some beating.Facts are meaningless, you can use facts to prove anything that's remotely true! - Homer0

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 CampagKev
