The £600 was purely for the bike, from what people have said on here I am guessing padded shorts are a must. Sat on a trek and jamis in evans in leeds and i had a sore **** after about 4 minutes! Been told i would need a 54cm top tube from someone and a 56 by someone else so I guess like you all said its a matter of trial and error. Matt i'm not in gomersal anymore, went to Woodrups bike shop on Kirkgate rd in Leeds yesterday, nearly ended up walking away with a £750 Cube peloton but managed to find some self control from somewhere, it looks AWESOME! It came with Soarer gearset, am I right in thinking it goes soarer then tiagra in terms of quality? |

Spot on, although I did try and fit the Tiagra 30t cassette, but the rear mech didn't like it, even though I used it on the compact set up last year?
I suspect its too many teeth difference, as I would need an MTB mech to make it all work smoothly. Still like you say I should get up pretty much anything, just need a easyish climbing day to remind my legs how to do it. ![]()
