Winstanley bikes have this in their sale reduced by 44% to this price. I've seen the XR1 105 at prices closer to £2700 on other sites. What am I missing? Is the HOC version an inferior frame? £1500 for a Bianchi Oltre seems a veryu good price.

    This explains the difference between the XR1 and XR2...

    It does sound like a good buy but I doubt the wheels are that great. Factor in what wheels you really want to get a better idea of whether it's really value for money for you (if you can use the Visions for winter training and already have better wheels then it could be a good deal)...

    An excellent frame for a very good price.

    Veloce is 10 speed if that bothers you and i've no idea on the wheels, but they are relatively cheap.

    If it was me i'd see how I got on with them first and if I didn't like them I'd bung some Zondas on there for and extra £250
