another dilemma

Roger Hassenforder

Following my recent spectacular achievement, following several attempts, I've finally convinced the wife I do need an upgrade.
Have narrowed the field to three, aesthetics being the main driver and need to keep it sub 2K factoring BTW. Now i dont want to call any one's baby ugly, so maybe dont bother suggesting alternatives(!), but would welcome comment on the following:


Fuji SST 3.0 (2K from LBS. slightly under spec, but sweet looking IMO).

Boardman Road Team Carbon Bike @€;1624 (good reviews, and i can get a Peig sticker for the little union jack)

Planet X RT 57 @€;1750 (looks good deal)

Wow. That fuji link is borked but I went looking for the sst 3.0 and that's the funkiest looking bike I've seen in ages! What's it like in the .... flesh? So to speak?

As the for the others, I like the Boardmans but surely 2k casts the net wider than that?

What class of a Giant TCR will 2k getcha?

You can get an extra 15% off the boardman if you have an Axa or Aon policy, I have the 2010 Team Carbon which has covered over 5000 faultless kilometers.

I'm not mad on the compact giant frame, at 90kg i'd look like I was on my little brothers bike! Tis tricky to get to see the fuji in the flesh, lbs can get me one, but i'd be ordering it without having a grope. I'd have the boardman for 11ish witj btw, and need to get the finger out before the boss changes her mind about the granite counter top!
