If your referring to test riding the Bike, I got to ride a friends who is the same size so I was lucky.
If your referring to test riding Di2 I have ridden with it (not just the ones they had in shops). It's incredible, I get that, nothing really matches it. But it's just too much to be arsed with. SRAM force moves my chain about very well indeed, looks badass whilst doing it and is pretty light so I am happy with that.
I think High end alu bikes (stock) at £1500 you get so much more than a carbon bike for £1500.
But I agree, cf frame sets that cost £1500 are going to be better than any Alu out there. But I couldn't justify spending that much on a frame when I could spend £600 on an ultimate Al frame that isn't going to be too much slower. (Could then spend the money on some badass wheels)
Personally, I think people should only really look at getting a carbon machine ISPs their budget for the full bike exceeds £1500. Non of this Planet X shit.
