After a lot of thought, I am hoping to get one of these soon, a friend from work got the lower priced model and it is really well specced for the money!

£600, was a £1200 bike but got one that was a shop one so got it cheap.
If you do get one dont forget about extras like helmet/shoes/cleats/shorts/gloves! extra 200 easy!

Fuck that's a bargain for a bike with shimano 105! I think I paid nearly that much for my allez 
Tell me about it on the accessories side, fucking expensive hobby

Forgot how knackering riding is. plus my arse is killing me.

Just under 10kg I think, quite heavy, my track bike is full carbon fibre - just under 6kg iirc, light as a feather lol

It's Evans yes.
I like the white/red ones, but figured they would get really grubby so ordered the black/brown ones.

I have recently started cycling. Bought a Land Rover hyrid bike off Gumtree for £80 as a runaround, however in the last 4 weeks I have racked up 350 miles just cycling around on some routes. Did 100 miles a couple of weeks ago around the Olympic route, Richmond Park, Surrey and Box Hill, I would seriously recommend it, some serious fun and a really good challenge around Surrey and Box Hill. Way down was quality.

Nice one mate. How long did it take, how did you find it?

It took just over 9.5 hours,
Just under 7.5 on the allez. What a difference

Finally got myself a bike a couple of weeks ago, ended up getting a specialized hardrock sport in white and red. First brand new bike I've had in over ten years, really enjoying it at the moment. Took it out for its first proper blast today through woods pissing down rain so soaked through and filthy white bike  lol. We did around 20 mostly off road and was great fun. Need to get myself some gloves a water bottle and holder now.
