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.

Agreed. Hargroves have a Bianchi Via Nirone Sora for £699

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.

Sam..

Absolute bargain (in red) for some top notch shoes...

Only thing stopping me splurging out on them at the moment is my new wheels that I'm getting parts for and built. Anyone recommend a decent wheel builder around these parts? Mitchell's?

Great spot. That's amazing saving, a bit bright
