    Now now, don’t encourage him. I’d rather we just got this thread back on track. Get a CAAD. Solid, light and good for racing.

    Did someone mention CAAD? Good call that man.

    Brothers in arms, those two. A bit like the song. Very, very close.

    I’ll take that as a compliment. Brothers you can rely on. Guess you have to have served to understand.

    Cool. I forgot that yet again, I was right. Sometimes it’s difficult being this good. Good seconding TP.

    I would take a second hand TCR or Tarmac over a CAAD any day, did the OP say he wanted a bike to race on???

    As for "can take a knock" rubbish, ultra thin alloy dents easily and cannot be repaired, plenty of firms can repair carbon, which is also a very tough material.

    My experience of a CAAD10 was poor, harsh and luck of the draw, issues with the BB30, my Tarmac Expert was a great bike and i regret selling it.

    Look out for a s/h TCR/S-works, as Imposter says they can be had for sensible money, a local dealer to me, are selling a brand new 56cm 2015 S-works for 1600, used going to be 1/2 to 2/3rds that.

    That's what I was thinking... CONKERS!

    Oh damn that doesn't look good. Yeah ideally a carbon one as I've got a alu one for winter. They're selling the 2015 S works online for 1600, seen a Advanced SL 0 go for 400 on eBay. Just need to get lucky spotting one when it comes up I guess :)
