Hi Chaps,

Another thread I've seen a lot of, but can't find a recent one in the search.

Are there any other bikes other than PX and Ribble to consider for £1k?

Cheers

Ricks

Tiagra isn't for me 😉

I'd be looking for 105 or Force ideally. I do much prefer SRAM drive trains, so would be interested to know if there's anything about with a decent Force or Rival Group.

Have a look at last years Cannondale Caad8's. Some decent deals out there.

Sensa looks interesting - although does sound like a tampon manufacturer, I know nothing of them though - I'll have to have a dig around on the geometry figures.

I know how good Caads are, but I'm keen to go carbon, I've had a couple of carbon road bikes and a few alu and steel, and much prefer the feel of carbon on the road.
