I've been riding an Eastway R4.0 for the last 12 months (see here: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/eastway-r40-2014/) but have decided to upgrade, I'm looking at spending £1 to £1.2k which looks to get a lot of bike these days. I'm a big chap...6ft4 and 100kg+ and most my rides are 50 to 100km where I average about 17mph. I generate a lot of power on the flats, but I'm a bit slower climbing because of my weight.

Here's my shopping list, any help or advice appreciated:

Cannondale supersix evo 5 - http://www.paulscycles.co.uk/m7b0s6p5514/CANNONDALE-SUPERSIX-EVO-105-5-2014

Scott solace 30 - http://www.paulscycles.co.uk/m7b0s6p6190/SCOTT-SOLACE-30-DOUBLE-2014

Ribble sportive racing ultegra - http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/bbd/road-track-bike/ribble-sportive-racing?part=BB15RIBSPRACING&sub=conf_BB_ALL&bike=1

Btwin Mach 720 - http://www.decathlon.co.uk/mach-720-carbon-road-bike-id_8311471.html

Canyon endurance cf 7 - https://www.canyon.com/en-gb/road/endurace/endurace-cf-7-0.html

    Of those I'd go for the Supersix Evo.

    But you need to see some of them in the flesh, see which cause a stirring in the trouser area. Sit on some, maybe a test ride or two, make absolutely sure you're getting the right size.

    Or the Canyon. It has the newer 11 speed 105 5800.
