surprising here , nothing along entry level these are all high mid range bikes for 1/3 to 1/4 of retail prices .

That's what caught my eye. It had some dam good componentry and starting from a good price, but yes, buyer be ware I could tell. If I was truly keen I would be inspecting this prior to bidding. other than that it's a great find.

That kind of defeats the purpose I reckon using that shortcut. Sure if your skills arent up to it, by all means take that route, but I like to challenge myself and try new things. If you are going on the BUPA tour and are considering doint this section of the challenge, let me know and I will join ya.

Also remember that a carbon fibre bike is going to be more rigid than an alloy framed bike, so it may take a little longer to get use to it from a comfort point of view... IMHO

Thanks for the tip. I doubt I will ever get into competitive riding. But a good quality road bike with cabon forks and maybe seat post and with 105 or Ultegra components will suit me just fine. I just got to keep an eye out on bargains. Am thinking of sticking with my LBS for fitment to be on the safe side too. Sure I'll pay more, but I will at least get the best advice and help I need when the time comes.
