Yes.

Mine's been a winter / turbo bike for two years now. Nothing has changed, worn gone wrong. I regularly knock out >100k ride confortably on club runs. No foibles.

This could apply to most big brand road bikes if not all.

Specialized, Cannondale and others all make great bikes at these prices.

If a bike wins magazine awards, look at where it's been tested - in a nice sunny location abroad? Bike Co is paying for that, doesn't mean the bike is the best, there'#s very little to separate the good bikes in this sector.

Nope, but I'm feeling generous. So I'll go to £4.85.

Sorry njee20, I'm taking no prisoners on this one!

Is "very nice" a new brand I've not heard of. That must make it niche, I'll go to £4.98 and I'll chuck in a snack pack of 6 Oreos.

That does sound niche, or is it a little...

Back on topic, I had a Cervelo S1 which I ran a 90mm stem on it. It never felt quite right. Going down a frame size and putting a 110mm stem felt much better. I'd avoid going that short again.

I run 90mm stem on my medium Defy and it feels spot on in terms of bike fit and handling, I am 5'10" with 32" inseam
