    Hmm, the pinarello might reject the shimano wheels transplant though? ;)

    Here, two options, 1. Buy with 105 and swap with Ultegra components from the lidl bike or 2. Just buy the Ultegra.

    I think the 2011 105 is better than the ultegra on the Stratos though.

    No it would be turned into a winter bike and crap weather bike. I still need to send off for the money my granny never told me about.

    Right. I thought they restrained themselves to screwing with the back wheel. Obviously not!

    Why are you selling one? Would you not just buy one? Two bikes is twice the fun :)

    I'd love to keep the FX but I need funds from the sale of it to fund the 1.2,
    Not ideal but its the only way at present :confused:

    I would so love one of those Scott Project F01 bikes
    The aero details are much more subtle than the Felt AR (and more effectibe apparently)

    I'm sure they are nicer bikes out there - but this is my baby for the foreseeable future.
