Yep thats the one.

I'd have the frame and as its a modern Master frameset, I'd kit it out with alloy Athena.

It'd be a dam sight cheaper than with the Super Record groupset

In fact a modern Master x light frameset is only £1450 at J E James, similar colour too

Like I said I was tempted so I had to leave the shop, doubly lucky was the fact the one in the shop was to small for me

Indeed, however the English version is only available online, although you can save it. This is a thing of beauty - pure cycling componentry porn, the Germans do it so well

Even with the £5 for postage for my cassette it's still cheaper than UK prices (if I could get hold of it here!)

Well........first day of back to cycling to work, 10.5 miles - 1hr4mins.

Considering chain came off once and two breaks for a drink, quite happy with that........rest of the week will be slower as ache a bit.....but will soon pick up I'm sure - can then start trying to improve times.

Brave man, first day I commuted I got a lift home from a guy at work

. Just take it easy and those times will soon start to tumble, I found out the hard way that if you push it too much especially in a high gear, you have little left for the next day.
