You could do a lot worse than this deal from Westbrook cycles

You'd need wheels and the rest of the finishing kit, bars, stem, tyres etc but easy to build up for less than £2k
or if you don't fancy building it up yourself you can get this deal from Cycledivision and have 1p left over

I have one and I wouldn't say it was comfortable but it would certainly be an excellent bike to race on.'Hello to Jason Isaacs'0 -
Ribble. Most of their frames with DI2 and decent wheels will come in under £2k. I don't think you'll get many other 2014 bikes with 11 speed DI2 for that price. Maybe 2013 10 speed.

Even better with Westbrooks. I went to order one a month ago with them and when i went to pick my size, it came up with the 2013 Matte Black version. Is so so nice!!0 -

I have the second of these, but they sourced a black frame for me, which I prefer, instead of the silver. It's my second Foil. It's fast and was comfortable enough for a week of centuries last year. The CERO wheels are excellent so far - lighter and faster than my 2013 Ksyrium Elites - but can't yet comment on longevity. The chaps at cycle division were great to deal with and helped me alter the spec to suit (seat/stem/tape).0 -
Man they are some cracking deals. If only, if only

If di2 is key, it would seem retrograde to settle for 6770 when you can get 6870, no? More sprockets, greater range, smaller package, lower weight, option to add sprint/climb shifters, progammability, unrestricted chainring compatibility, etc.0

6770 can do all those things and can be easily upgraded to 11 speed by changing the rear mech.English Cycles V3 | Cervelo P5 | Cervelo T4 | Trek Domane Koppenberg0 -

Really?
I thought one of the big changes in the 6800 chainsets was the 110 BCD, which allows limitless straightforward swapping of chainrings, whereas 6700 used 110 for compact and 130 for standard. It would be pretty difficult to make 6770 as light as 6870, as compact or as inoffensive looking. Doesn't programming/adding shift buttons require something extra too? Also factor in the 6800 series brakes, which are a big improvement. As for changing to 11 speed, one would need a new mech, a new cassette and, probably, a new hub to put the new mech on.0 -
I thought this was a Di2 discussion? 6770 uses etubes just like 6870, so programmability and shift/climb satellites aren't an issue.
A lot of people haven'g gone 11 speed yet as they have loads of 10 speed wheels, so it's not the best option for many people. At least with 6770 you have the choice to upgrade if and when you feel like it.English Cycles V3 | Cervelo P5 | Cervelo T4 | Trek Domane Koppenberg0 -
I opted for a 2013 Felt F3 from Winstanleys 1,799GBP (Di2, 10sp)http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/category/785/Felt_Road_Bikes which I'm awaiting delivery of to China. Only size 56 left now, though. Pre-VAT price is circa 1,500GBP so maybe I'll get lucky and avoid local tax here. :roll: Probably not but it's a decent price regardless and a big upgrade from my Moser Speed Sora.
Unfortunately, Westbrook have a big delivery charge (250GBP) to me and I'm not sure I wouldn't get stuck building it up anyway! Cycledivision also don't ship to here but next time I'm in the UK, am already of thinking of grabbing some CERO AR30s to replace the RS61s, drop 400g and take it to 6.8kg to 6.9kg all in with Ultegra pedals.Felt F3 Di2 (2013) : Moser Speed Sora (2012) : Cruising the roads of China0
