Finally made a decision and bought a bike. Had a couple of rides so far and really liking it. Completely standard apart from a change in stem length from 100 to 120mm.

Only other planed changes are some black bar tape, maybe a different saddle, some Conti GP4000s and dependent on funds following our honeymoon, a set of wheels, probably RS81's.

    Giants are great bikes but agreed that better wheels would be well worth it......I hear that Bognor is lovely at this time of year for a honeymoon, you'd definitely have money for the upgrades then :wink:
