    Condor Super Acciaio £1200
    SRAM Red 22 (hell, you could just get Force mind) £1000 (or £600).
    Handbuilts or Campag Neutron Ultra £500
    Some kit to finish off £300

    So, 3k or 2.6k depending on what you spec for group set.

    I've a similar dilemma, but I'm not looking to buy until the Autumn (2015 models).

    I've narrowed it down to:

    Scott Foil 10
    Cannondale Hi Mod Evo Red
    Canyon Aeroad
    Boardman Elite Air 9.2

    To be honest, I don't think you can go wrong with any of the above. Epic Cycles have good deals on the Scott and Cannondale with optional wheel upgrades. The Boardman looks good on paper, but appears a bit of an unknown quantity.

    Whether I'd buy without trying?

    Pretty much the same list as me!!

    Do you ride one? Any pros/cons?

    I ride the Acciaio rather than the Super.

    There are simply no cons. It's brilliant building your own bike. No compromises (not that there's much to compromise with Canyon or Rose).

    It's heavier, of course, but just a fluid and wonderful riding experience.

    Has anyone used westbrook cycles? I can not believe how cheap some of their bikes are! Im tempted with the High mod evo 6 dura ace!

    Bought my Foil 10 from them, delivered next day no problems at all.
