    Was in a similar position myself recently. Considered the Boardman Road Team Carbon bike through Halfords as it looks good value for money (also think you can get 10% off if you have an AXA card but don't know if that applies to BTW scheme)

    Went to Eurocycles and got a great deal on a Felt F5 satin carbon bike with full Shimano 105 slightly more expensive than the Boardman but just love the look of it which I think is the most important thing when looking at bikes.

    A Thread started a while back may give you an idea http://touch.boards.ie/thread/2057696396/1/#post102367292

    If your employer allows online purchase some of the Dolans are very good value for money

    Have you looked at the Scott bikes - try spokes and saddles in Loughrea as good spec for the money.

    Probably end up getting the L'etape with Di2. Unbelievable value for a superb bike at £1,500, try as I may though my employer will only deal with bricks and mortar shops.

    Edit - see it's north of £1,600 now. They were doing it for £1,500?in January. Gah!
