Good or bad?
Am looking to spend around £1.5k on a new road bike, and the Ultegra equipped Gran Fondo and Sportive Racing look extremely tempting. Especially as you can get SuperLeggeraXL50 wheels XL50. Carbon wheels look very nice, but are they worth the extra £320?
Also, I understand the Gran Fondo is meant for climbing, and the Sportive Racing I would hazard a guess is for sportives and racing, but what is the real world difference?
Great bikes, not too great customer service. If you live near them (like I do) you can pick the bikes up. Which moved things along in my case.

Ever.
Try Paul Hewitt cycles (also Preston, well Leyland). I've had a few dealings with them and they've been excellent. They have bike-fit facilities and will talk through everything you need. Can't recomend them highly enough. AVOID RIBBLE!
