Wappingwarrior, I think that you should take you time choosing the components that you want for sure, go for rides etc but if you have the chance to use the scheme and get a £750 bike you should go for it while you can. If it turns out to be the wrong thing for you it's not like you're going to have any trouble selling it on and also, if you're at the company next year then just do the scheme again. I always think you should spend as much as you can on your bike and whilst I totally agree with what the guys are saying above re: getting a cheap bike first, this isn't as easy when paying for it all using cyclescheme. Bricklane Bikes will sort you out, tell them what you want and what you know and they'll get you on something that you should get along with.
