Hi,
Anyone had or got one of the following bikes? can get one used but very slightly for near £2000

Is it pure race? I did want something for longer rides with comfort really, the spec and paint job just has me drooling

    I've ridden one for a bit. It was really good, very comfortable, great power transfer too. The geometry is not particularly agressive, headtubes are on the slightly longer trend. Good bike, great frame. Deserves a good set of wheels though, as do a lot of bikes... don't know which wheels the one you have your eye on has, if they're in the £400 to £600 factory wheel bracket then it will have everything it needs.

    Edit... if it comes with DT Swiss RA 2.0 then it could do with upgrading at some point, they are not much to shout about and heavy. The photo shows some high end Mavics, the desc says DT Swiss RA 2.0 though.

    Well, good bike if you like it, see if you can get it for a chunk under two grand, I'd haggle the hell out of anyone on anything!
