The bike is pure sex and I would love to do that climb. Can't wait to see it when you buy one.

The Germans again.

Could get a decent deal for a Focus Cayo Evo at the LBS.


My current favourite, Canyon Ultimate CF 9.0


The dark horse, Rose CRS-3000.

They will be in the shop next week.....must resist.
