Howdy All!

Decided to finally venture into the world of Road Bikes after many years of Mountain Biking.

Road biking is just more convenient for me now, as i can rock out my door and get right on it!

So at the grand age of 29 i now own my very own Road Bike.. aww!

Love it to bits as well received it yesterday, put it together and headed out on a maiden voyage.

After lots (and lots) of looking about I fell in love with the Focus Cayo 2.0 Ultegra.. Everytime I see it (i know its only been a day) it brings a big smile to my face so I know i have made the right choice..

Couple of pics below, and just wanted to say hello more than anything :)

    Thanks :)

    Azhar, I don't mind I bought it from Wiggle and it cost me £1199. It's an ex demo bike but I was lucky enough to do a bit of shopping about and know the fit would be right in the 1 size they had available.

    There aren't many knocking about now as they are binging in the 2013 frames.

    Really happy with it, the advertising pictures and mine really don't do it justice (but I would say that wouldn't I).

    Here's to many happy miles and thanks for the welcome!

    Welcome to the forum and love the bike. Enjoy eating up the miles....
  • Great looking bike and welcome to the forum - lots of help on here.

    I am impressed that your bike is allowed in your living room - there is no way mine would be allowed in our house!!

    Fantastic looking bike and enjoy riding it

    Great socks, really tops the look of the bike.
    I've had my Cube over a month now and I still look at it every time I walk past it.
