YES; yes you should

Yeah do it!

Caad10 would make a fantastic winter bike. Pity the wheels aren't wide, the group is 10 speed and I think wired electronic shifting is the minidisc of gears, but it's still tempting.

But sir £120 is all you need to upgrade to 11 speed ..

More like Blue-ray of gears as its Shimano .. SRAM's offering will be HD-DVD lol

Do it, cable routing is external too, bonus.

You can run your 11speed wheel on it (if that's the wide one you're talking about).

No its not

Cable Amey, what do you think I'm referring to with cable?

Yeah - a sensible choice if you are planning on crashing more ;)

I'm not a fan of external cabling, or the external battery, but you know.

Personally I consider wired electronic shifting a bit of an intermediary step between mechanical shifting and wireless shifting. My comparison to minidisc isn't far off. It's got many of the downsides of wired shifting, and comparatively few upsides. Still, the CAAD10 isn't the worst idea I've had.

wasn't planning on crashing the first time round!

I mean, if you're not pleased with the external cabling you can always route it inside when upgrading to 11spd surely?

Yawn.

Has your Ribble been delivered/built-up yet? You could be riding.

Talking about buying bikes > riding them. Obviously.

Chances are UCI will approve this as sport before disc brakes on road bikes

£220 to repair the drop-out...

Sounds reasonable, although the engineer warned that it's will never be quite as strong again. No working on the derailleur without the wheel in place and clamped etc.

If you'd just spend 14 months trying to fix crippling back pain, you might be hesitant to throw your money down too.

I'd be gagging to ride a bike.

That one is £150 for the frameset. Add a headset (and a bb if needed) and you're on riding again, with plenty of time to source a frame for summer.

They don't list the geometry below a 50, which is still too big.

Is 'I'm not buying a Ribble' the new 'I'm not buying a Talbot'?

@miro_o I've still got my track bike. I'm not completely bike-reft.

Sorry. I was just suggesting that that is a better deal than frameset only..

I thought the important thing was to get you back on the road for winter megamiles (and beyond)?

You seem to be distracted and delayed with all sorts of #buyer related activities. The Festive 500 starts in a week.

It is a cracking deal.
