any bargains out there?
i'm lookin for the monocot shitz or maybe dicot?, or something else?
in fact anything light enough so i can overtake other riders with ease, without having to dismount and hide in bushes to avoid upstarts overtaking me on hills?
thanks in advance.

Budget?
Westbrook have some Scott bikes reduced significantly.
Missed out on the reduced Cervelo frames though.

I've found feigning cramp works where bushes are not available.

hehe the hiding in bushes thing was a friend who was also looking to buy a (felt) carbon bike

The frame is the same one as they use on their £3K bikes and it gets good reviews

In reply to Tricky Dicky:
seems like a great deal. got some 105 components to upgrade..

how would it be on cycle tracks eg would the frame take 28+mm wide tyres?
