Have tested the Caadx Tiagra and must say it looks a lot better in the flesh. I wasn't too keen on the paint job but I've just taken one out just now and it rides well. It's whether i'll have this niggling thought about the 105 everytime I look down and see the cables come out of the Tagra shifters.
My ride2 work is with Evans and i contemplated the Pinnacle Arkos. I seem to be between sizes though as the small seemed too small and the medium though OK was didn't feel as comfortable as the 'dale. The Arkose 2 could be ideal for my needs though.
If the 51cm 105 is unavailable then maybe my decision is made for me and I should just get the tiagra and if i'm that bothered swap the shifters later.
