My head is completely done in thinking what bike to get, i have up to £2400 to get a bike that has to be my bike for the next few years but haven't really got a clue there is that many, any help or leading me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I would like di2 if i had the chance cheers

    If you don't know what you want, how you'll use it, where you'll use it, or anything about your capabilities or preferences then why are you buying a new bike? If you do know any of those things, enlighten us.
  • I Currently have a bianchi 928 monocoque carbon and do on average 50-100 miles a week i am doing c2c in a day in 3 weeks and i want something that will be comfortable for long rides, i love my bianchi it is a great bike but just fancy upgrading to something better. where i live is hilly so would like something that is a good climber,

    For 2400 I can't see a better option than this canyon if you are prepared for mail order

    You don't need Di2, better off spending your money on a decent frame / wheels than a vanity group set.

    What you need is one if these
