My new steed, sorry for poor phone pics will post some better pics when I get chance. I went to Onza Bikes in Nottingham and had a spin on the Peloton series and really liked the Peloton Race. It suited me fine, Having an old back injury I needed something that had a little more relaxed setup and this did the trick.
I plumped for a 56cm which suited my 5'10" height perfectly.
Despite a aluminium frame the ride is very comfortable, the skinny rear stays take a lot of sting out of road buzz and the fork has a good amount of give too. The only concessions I have made is to switch out the white bar tape for black Gel tape (mainly for practical reasons we all know white tape is only good for the showroom!) and I have also ordered a Charge Knife saddle which in my opinion is one of the best out there.
Spec is as follows:
Frame: RFR double butted Alu Frame Internal Cable routing
Fork: CL Carbon tapered headtube
Wheels: Easton EA30 Aero Custom
Shifters: 105 5700 series
Chainset: 105 Compact
Front Mech: 105
Rear Mech: Ultegra
Chain: Shimano 10 speed
Seat Post: Easton
Bar: Easton Aero
Tyres: Schwalbe Ultremo ZX
Pedals: Shimano SPD
Planet X Carbon Bottle cage
Weight: 8.79kg without pedals / 9.2kg with
