I though the gear change would be clunky but it aint - I kept me old one for pub journeys that's like Trigger's broom - only the frame is original

Don't tell NMH this or he'll be jealous. I've always wondered what belt drives would be like especially with an internal hub gear.

I am of the opinion that if you buy cheap you buy twice. Look for Tacx, Elite, Minoura on ebay or see if there are any deals currently being done.
i was half tempted to buy a £45 new one from play, i am coming back to getting my credit card out for the £150 set from halfords though.

Don't tell NMH this or he'll be jealous. I'm always jealous when anyone buys anything new! I want it too! I am currently trying to shake the n+1 fever which I seem to have. I think I'm more into the idea of cycling than actually cycling! Mileage for February has been low because of dangerous weather and the way my shift pattern falls. I need to get back out there.

I think that goes for a lot of cyclists. My kids have joined a youth cycling club and I'm tempted to just buy stuff for them too. Maybe its a whole "must have gadget" issue but for people with a more engineering ilk as opposed to an electronic one.

I'm looking at that second one too, and the Felt F95 or Z95. I know nothing though, so can't help!

The Triban 5 is good value for money. I'd probably pay the extra £50 to get the benefit of the Sora groupset on the Triban 5 than the Microshift stuff on the 500SE.
I uhmed and aahed over the Felt bikes too. Very nice looking and decent kit for the price.

I must resist! I must resist!
Interested to see that others had been looking at the Triban 5. I liked the fact that reviewers were saying that it was better than many bikes twice its price.
Think I'll prob wait for the T500 in April.

Interesting bit of research here, that birds rate fit cyclists....seemingly evolution enables them to detect performance in the face as well as the wallet and bulge in the lycra... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-26034659
