I wasn't aware of the canyon sponsorship programme, thanks a lot for that. The only bad things i've heard with canyon is the ridiculous wait time/lousy customer service.
As it stands i'm leaning towards towards the Bowman, as it seems to be the best bike to start properly racing on.
I'm waiting for insurance to come through, and they may simply say that they'll replace like for like, in which case i'll have a Giant TCR. Not really the worse situation to be in haha.
£800 for the allez is ridiculous.

Arent the Bowman frames about £650?

I'd get something more affordable to start racing on. Unless you're lucky, constantly off the front or constantly off the back, you will have a crash.

Well, i've been riding for ages, i'm 17 and only just starting to race crits etc. The Bowman is indeed £650, and (it seems) is geared towards crits. It won't just be a crit bike though, it's going to be for everything.
