Does your phone actually have GPS?
I assume so as it has 3 settings for it and can find me on Google Maps.

Nearly bought the Ribble but something stopped me. Not sure what.
Keep seeing new bikes that I hadn't considered before, or bikes that have been reduced which take my fancy, which is making me even more undecided. For example I've spied a Felt and today seen a Giant Defy 2 and GT GTR 3 with Tiagra for less than £650.

Maybe you just want to be sure you are doing the right thing. I do the same thing, and did it over buying my wheels. Also, buying some thing like a bike on line is a big risk when you haven't ridden it. I think you will go round in circles as the whole bike/gruppo/equipment combination issue will drive you mad and sooner or later you'll have to make a decision. For some reason I don't like GT or Giant bikes, although Giant they have good reviews - just a personal thing.

I'm not really drawn to the straight lines of the likes of Felt, Giant or GT. Absolutely love the Italian frames. If I could get a Bianchi within my budget I'd have it in an instant.

Nope. Gone for the Vitus Zenium VRS. Mix of 105 & Tiagra for £680, plus I actually love the looks too.

Nice. Superb colours as well. Good choice Sam, think you've made the right choice.
I'm up w/e of the 31st if you fancy a ride.

OK let me know. Check out wiggle, they had shimano SPD SLs for around £20 and dhb shoes. You can also go via top cash back.
