Toying with one of these but just wondered if anyone has upgraded/switched from 2011 bike to 2012?
If so, is it much different?
Cheers

Well Lapierre shortened the chainstays, lengthened the front end slightly, as well as slackening the head angle by a degree I believe. It should mean that the 2012 bike rides slightly better all things being equal.
Sitting on the two year models side by side the difference is difficult to discern. I think you'd have to be a pretty serious rider to really notice a huge difference.
full carbon frame verses partial, too - depending on spec - and so generally slightly lower spec gear on 2012 at same price point to offset the pricier frame.
