I've got a 50/34 + 12/28 on my CAAD 10, and I've used 34 + 28, on Ditchling Beacon and thats about it, but I've run out of gears on the top end a whole lot more.
Dogs-
That's interesting, thanks. I looked at the relative speed at cadence, and figured I'd never even hit the 42mph which you'd get at 130rpm on 50x12, let alone the 46mph you'd get at the same cadence with the 11t!
Push it up to the potential 52x11, and that's 48mph.
I suppose if you're really hammering it down a long straight hill you'd easily reach those speeds though - again, Norfolk isn't exactly a hotbed of long descents, so I don't have much real world experience of them.

Look like Canyon only offer the 52/36 now - got all the way to the check out without being offer a chance to change.
If I want compact, it'll have to be the Rose.
