    I'd go for the Vanquish, best equipped bike.

    you can say what you like about halfords but if you want economy riding its hard to beat. not cutting edge but my carrera battles through winter 6 years on.
  • Well as I have mentioned my son loves his TDF. It was bought for my father originally but was a tad small and he then found an Allez on sale which he grabbed. My son only needed a shorter stem and I added some of halfords own carbon spacers for his own bit of bike bling!

    I love the look of it tbh.

    I have not seen the 2011 version but from what I can see in the Cycling Plus article it is just a small change to the graphics on the top tube.
