They're a uk brand and you can juggle specs a little,especially with the am-classic wheels.

That moda is like a work of art. A shop near me has started selling them. Think I'll take a closer look this week.

Mikey74 do some test riding - obviously you have good taste
The Canyon road bikes look gash but their MTBs don't
On the other hand ridden by Phillipe Gilbert the total king of road biking awesome
Kuota come up light £ for £ the full pro tour KOM is a mere 4 grand
which is half a dogma cost but weighs less

Thanks for all the replies. I really like that Moda.
I may take a trip to my local Evans (which is, incidentally, my only LBS) and see what they've got.

Those Kuotas are heavy aren't they?
Rubbish. Mine below (now with Fulcrum Racing 1 wheels) is 8 kg including pedals.

Another mint looking Kuota - they really are the road bike 'bargain'
Cav's Mclaren S-works weighs 7.5kg - I bet the Kuota above doesn't weigh much
more than that. There comes a point when things can get too light...Posted 1 year ago # -
Hey, I was going by a review on cycling plus that said the one they tested was around 19.5lbs. They did say that it wasn't the frame, but the kit, that was resulting in the weight.

merlin are doing ultegra wheels for about 200 quid, and the latest 105 groupset for 450, even allowing for tyres bars stem saddle seatpost headset bartape, you'd have enough to get a top quality frameset
or go onto weightweenies and get a carbon frame direct from china, they have very useful threads on there
or if you fancy a full build, have a look at the planetx himod with athena

I'd agree with all the kuota recommendations, we build alot of them and they're great vfm! Also very light.. I've got a couple of pinarellos on special depending on your size.... Mail me if you need more info

Planet X SL Pro with SRAM Red groupset - £1300. You wont find another bike out there with a carbon frame and a pro level groupset for that kind of money. You could then use the money you have left over to buy some pimping wheels for it.
I rode a mates Planet X the other week and it was excellent.

Very close to going for one of those Kuotas: I notice that it comes with either SRAM Rival or Shimano 105 groupo. Any recommendations which one I should go for?
I have used 105 before and found it to be reliable, but I have no experience of the SRAM kit.
