Hi all I hope you can help. I'm looking at a buying a new carbon framed road bike.
After returning from a weeks cycling in Majorca riding a carbon bike I think I've seen the light. Currently my good bike is a Fuji team SL which is a cracking bike and very light however on our terrible roads the alloy frame isn't that comfortable as I'd like.
The tax man has given me a nice little rebate which is helping to influence my decision to change.
Firstly I'm very tempted by two bikes wiggle have on sale. The cinelli saetta sprint veloce at nearly £1100 it seems a bargain. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/cinelli-saetta- ... loce-2012/ the only problem is its compagnolo and I've no experience of that system being a shimano man all my cycling days.
The next bike to take my fancy is the moser 111 ultegra also from wiggle. It's on sale too for £1200 which also seems a good deal. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/moser-bikes-111-ultegra-2013/
Then a trip to my local bike shop has revealed the trek domane 4.5 for around £1800. Nice bike and plenty of new technology. They also stock Merida ride 95 and the sculptura for roughly the same price.
Now I know there's a whopping £600 difference at least between wiggles offerings and the LBS but people's views would be most helpful. I would like a bike similar to my old Fuji team SL which is fast and can really be ridden hard and stands out from the crowd by being unique.
Thanks in advance.

I got mine when Wiggle were doing the 105 version for £1000 last year, its a brilliant bit of kit.
The only real negative I can think of is it doesn't have internal cable routing - a pretty minor niggle really.
Mine came with Shimano RS-10s which are a pretty budget wheelset but have actually served me very well - put over 1000 miles on them with no issues. I think the veloce one has Miche wheels so not sure how they compare.
Buy it!
