Well guys, after a number of posts and advice from in here I've finally ordered a new road bike, my first ever.
It was all down to a Scott CR1 comp or a Ribble Sportive Bianco, and can I just say I visited Ribble twice and they were very very helpful both times, I thought I would mention that as they do seem to get bad press in here.
I was on the verge of ordering a ribble when lo and behold, they stuck their price up by about £50, which made me look again at the Scott, well at the price I found it I just couldnt not get it, ok it's not a full 105 groupset but for a newcomer like me I'm sure it will do the business.
I ended up ordering from Wallis Cycles in Higher Walton near Preston, and the owner there, Martin, was fantastic, I can thoroughly recommend the shop, picking the bike up on saturday and can't wait....

    Well done and welcome to the obsessive madness that is road cycling!
