    I have the slightly lighter Racelight Tk, initially as my all year round bike and now 7 years on as a wet weather / winter bike.

    Excellent frames; longish top tubes, so you'd need to be sure the 57 is the right size for you. £350 for a 105 equipped T2 sounds like a bargain if it fits.

    Thanks all
    Didnt know about the long top tube. Im 6ft with a 34inch inside leg so I thought size 57 would be a good fit for me.

    Good bikes for winter work with guards. I have one as well.
