After much thinking and penny counting I went to the lbs today and cancelled the focus i had on order(which was an ali variado)and ordered a giant defy comp 2 which is carbon with sram fittings.This bike seems to suit what i really want in a bike so cant wait to get it.Also there is a life time garentee on the frame which is piece of mind.
The focus although a luvly bike and spec,being aluminium I just couldn,t get past the fact that i,d be thinking I should have got carbon and so thats taken care of.
just looking forward to getting it home now.

Yep and I fish with carbon ....... and everything is fine to date. I'd be very poor if those sticks melted every time they went in the water!0

I went the other way.
In my budget I could have had a Cannondale SuperSIx 105 or the CAAD 10 Ultegra (basically same geometry just CF vs. Ali and obviously the different spec groupset) .
I went with the CAAD as I like the idea of being different and not jumping on a bandwagon just for the hell of it. Besides, the CAAD was sexy all-blackCannondale CAAD 10 Ultegra

I had a mate who always dreamed of being run over by a steam train. When it finally happened, he was chuffed to bits too.
Carry on everyone.0
