This forum is rad! thank you for all your advice and thoughts...!
SPJ I can see it is an expensive hobby; and i'll check out the carbon Defy's and TCR for sure... Yes you're right I have an XL defy 3.5... But when I took the measurements off the spec it says only 58.5 frame with 59.5 T/T... which made me wonder if it was the best size for me, or just the biggest one the bike shop guy had at the time! But I suppose proof is in the pudding...
Sirbikealot; you're right - me saying i want to buy a carbon bike a bit like saying 'i want a turbo on my car' without first thinking about why I want a turbo... (terrible analogy, but i'll check out the alu ones you mention).
Cheers!
