just to bring it back to the bikes for a moment - I have the CAADX 105 on order currently under a cycle to work scheme, but have been advised that i should not expect it until June or July "...or even later" by the retailer (Wheelies) due to manufacturing problems with the frame at Cannondale.
Not a problem for me as it gives me more time to work out how to tell my wife / work out where to keep it.
Only really ordered it as my company ran the C2W scheme again, and it seemed inappropriate not to buy something, and can sort of justify the purchase as something that will be easier to ride when out with my kids, as my fixed bikes skinny tyres do not handle towpaths etc well and the gearing on them is not appropriate for average speeds of 6 - 8 mph which we normally seem to achieve! This may be a sledgehammer to crack a nut kind of situation.
Hell, I might even try some cyclocross on it in the next season (assuming it's arrived by then).
