Wiggle Deal - Any good?

I saw the following bike deal on Wiggle:

However, I can not find any reviews for the model, has any one got one? Are they any good?

Thank you for your help

Does look pretty good value - googling shows the frame to be around the 1000g mark, with Fulcrum 5 wheels and U DI2 it must be the cheapest carbon-framed Ultegra Di2 around ?
This build looks good :

But over £500 more than the Prorace !

Thanks guys, I do quite like the Canyon, my only reservation is there is no opportunity to try them out before hand. The spec on the Wiggle bike is pretty impressive!

how can you try the wiggle bike?

You can't try the Wiggle bike because the 30 day trial ride doesn't apply to bikes with more than 15% discount.
Real shame because I suspect not too many people will have heard of Prorace and it is a lot of money to shell out without a test ride and no reviews.

I did not realise about the 15% discount limit on the Wiggle test ride, thank you. Looks like I am back in the market for the Canyon Ultimate AL 9.0 Di2

You would still need to purchase the Canyon though without a test ride although there are plenty of good reviews on this bike and it was in the Bike of the Year 2012 top 5

Also I believe that Canyon allow you to return the bike within 30 days providing it has only been on a dry test run.

The extensive reviews of the Canyon and the existing threads on here, reassured me about buying the bike without a test ride.
