    Hmm, can't imagine being in this position but if I were I think I'd be looking at the Genesis Equilibrium Ti.

    Kitted out with Shimano, though.

    Cheers,

    Nice bike, but I'm too much of a boy racer at heart!

    I love the bit at the bottom "Similar Products" with GT bikes at around £600: similar in what way exactly? They have GT written on them?

    I guess it'd be the triple triangle frame, or in other words, its a GT.

    Hmm, Hot-Hatch or Porsche...?

    They say anyone who really enjoys driving has a 911 at some point... Maybe it's the same with bikes?

    Carbon and Aluminium arn't made to be pleasant to ride, just to be light at a pricepoint... Steel and titanium are made for riding.

    Hmm, delete what post?

    Yeah, I'm actually very tempted too, looks like a bargain...

    Looks like you didn't delete it fast enough (or else, enjoy your new wheels!)

    What was it? Have you made a decision yet?
    I had a schmooze around Sigma Sports the other day. I really like the Seven bikes, but I am an old git.

    I was in the 'pool on Wednesday. Surely you'd set some aside for orange paint and tracksuits?

    That's the point - sadly someone got there before me. Still going to try out some TCRs tomorrow to see if I like the ride...

    You can lay up carbon to ride like any other material, and be lighter in the process. So I'm not sure that comment is true. Steel is for old romantics, titanium is for people who want a frame for life (IMO of course).

    Not much point when your 'frame for life' gets half-inched after a year.
