    Just so you know, the wheels on that Look are not the ones which it comes with.

    knew this would happen :)

    thanks for the advice guys. I'll check those out. One q on Canyon, are these bikes pure racing machines or are there relaxed gemoetries available? Just to reiterate, I won't be racing!

    The Roadlite is pretty relaxed. The Ultimate AL and CF are racy but not excessively so - the head tubes are long-ish as race bikes go.

    The Focus Izalco Ergoride is described as "Its sloping top tube and taller head tube allow you to ride in a more relaxed position"

    The particular model that won the Cycling Plus test this month is the Ergoride 4.0 '12 and is in your price bracket @ £2,000. The spec looks great for the money - details here: link

    Might also be worth your while getting a copy of the mag to see what they said about the other bikes in the test (The Canyon wasn't included :()
