Thanks all. I was leaning that way but on checking with Decathlon it's not possible to pre-order a bike so until it comes into stock ("next month") I can't do anything with it. So I'll try another store and then go back to looking. I can get the Cannondale from stock, but I'm not sure if it's the one I want (I'm going to see if the 2 or 4 will be available in any sensible time).

I did actually check with PlanetX and the London Road is going to be available in October with orders from July so not viable for me (I need to buy by the end of June to get the tax break). The bike situation is so bad at the moment I'm tempted to just stick with my old bike for another year.
