    Anyone have any experience of riding this machine?
    Looks nice with dura ace on it. Seriously looking into buying this bike at the moment.

    I'm riding a Xelius SL 700 the last couple of months. There is nothing negative to say about it. Very comfortable to ride and is race proven with a win on Alpe d'Huez. The handling on descents is superbe.

    Now that is a difficult question. Can any bike be better than a C40?

    I think it's not but it is very close.

    I've raced a Xelius with ultegra 6800 for the last 2 years. Excellent bike. Quite an aggressive geo and very stiff. I ride mine with a 61cm reach
