Weight Cheapie (Chinese crabon fun)

The whole "where's the fun/desirability in buying an otp Cannondale" point is a bit disregarded here I suppose then.

(That one on dan's link was considered, though I'm 6ft3 so they didn't have my size. And it's got some textbook grim cycle-to-work-scheme-evans-carbon-I'm-from-Richmond-my-other-bikes-a-brompton look/feel to it. I do know very little about bikes though tbf!)

I suppose it depends on what you want - if you want a bike that has years and years of R&D, race proven geometry, great finishing kit, warranty and manufacturer quality control systems then you want the Cannondale / Specialized / Canyon blah blah.

If you want a fake handbag with, with a Di2 vajazzle, no research, no development, no customer service, no warranty and a similar price tag, then you want your ebay spare parts convention.
