My new ride
Got my new bike delivered on Thursday and I am so please
.
https://www.wiggle.co.uk/focus-cayo-105-ltd-2011/
A full carbon frame with 105 / FSA components which were very responsive and snappy. It seemed to zip along the roads like I was flying.
If anybody is interested in buying one Wiggle have them reduced to £999 and until the end of the month they have 20% reduced off the full price (and other bikes by using code TOUR20) so I bought this bike for £880 for a FULL CARBON frame.
It was reviewed in UK magazine Cycling Active a few months ago and got 95%
In some of the reviews there is some critism regarding the finish of the frame. To me it looks like there is a sheen on the paintwork which doesn't quite look right. I can easily overlook this when I remember how much I paid and how much of a good ride it is but it might not appeal to all.

Any new bike that a member is proud of is worthy of a new thread. I don't give a damn if it is a $600 bike or a $12,000 bike.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Nice and good looking. I Like the fork and the design in the chain ring.

Thanks all for your comments (well mostly
).
These days, like most no doubt, I need to buy things on a budget and I thought this was a great looking bike with a good spec and reviews for a fantastic price so couldn't resist.
