canyon roadlite 6?

full 105 with upgraded ultegra mechs (a lot of £1K bikes have downgraded cranks or brakes), mavic aksium wheels etc

The wheels on the Planet X look pretty dire. Given how important wheels in determining how a road bike rides, i'd get something else (like the ^ Canyon!).

I just bought a 2010 specialized secteuer comp reduced from £1299 to £899. Seemed like s bargain to me...

How about the Merlin road bikes? Spec looks decent and their MTB frames are pretty good.

focus cayo 105

jambo - where'd you get the secteur from?

Not sure of the specs of the other bikes, but the Cayo 105 is an amazing bike. Great spec and amazing ride.

Certini in Plymouth. I think they have a couple left at that price.

First road bike so not a lot to compare it to, 8 months on and still very happy...

Cheers all, going to have to try some for size I think. not having had a road bike before I don't want to end up with the wrong one.
