    I didn't get on with the shimano calipers on my previous crosser. I changed them for bb5 and they were a massive improvement on them, then bb7 on my current bike are a big improvement again.

    Happy birthday.

    Sweeeeeeet! Gratz on this & the birthday.

    Please be posting fullest review soonest - was spookily looking earlier at the same bike & drooling. Head says overkill for winter commuting; heart says long time dead, buddy - get the wallet out.

    The Shimano BR-RS785 are Hydraulic, if you used BB5 I'm guessing yours were mechanical?

    Nice! Shame they don't come in under the £1000 mark - I'd quite like to pick something like that up on C2W. :D

    Happy birthday!

    Ditto. Dropping to the 105 hydraulic group might make it happen, although I suspect we'll have to wait another year.

    But only available in XS frame size. Was the main reason I waited for the 2015 model, the mediums sold out so quickly last year.

    Ah - I'd added one to the cart and customised it, so I thought it was still in stock; I hadn't proceeded to the next step to get the 'someone beat you to it' message.
    Please do post your thoughts and views once you receive it and start riding it - it looks like it would tick my 'do it all bike' box (albeit with a spare dyno wheel for winter riding). Oh, and how did you determine what seat post you needed?


    Trust you had a good birthday!

    The Specialized Diverge looks promising as a BTW steed, no UK prices yet but this one should come in under £1K

    Rear rack/guard mounts but not having them on the forks (at the dropout at least, looks like there is some sort of fixing half way up, but it's not clear from photo's) is an oversight. Mechanical discs at this price though.

    I just stuck with the normal seatpost. The length with the stem and top tube is about right for me and I've not done anything much with having to put a seat too far forward or back before, so I'm hoping the normal post will be fine. I might email the Bike Whisperer as I'd chatted to them and was sized up a couple of months ago.

    Will post back with a review, but it looks like early/mid November before the thing ships, so it'll be a little while :|

    Thanks; would appreciate that. Good luck with the patience-testing lead time!

    They are on the tredz website. £750 gets you a Claris groupset, £2000 a 105 I think :(

    Both aluminium. They do look interesting though.

    And in other news I've PUT MY FOOT DOWN AND HAVE DEMANDED A NEW BIKE/asked permission nicely and got an agreement.

    Carbon with disc brakes, full mudguard mounts...ideally with 105 or min tiagra...waiting to see what comes out next few weeks. Anyone seen anything? giant advanced defy is a possibility at the mo...

    In the meantime I gotta start selling my current ones :(
