After my crash on Saturday (that I posted here about), which left my bike prohibitively expensive to
repair, I have finally decided to go for my new bike. After shopping around, I've decided to go for
the Graham Weigh
7005/carbon fork bike, with Miche sprockets, chainwheels, etc. and Campag xenon shifters, including
the ergo levers, from deeside cycles. I'm impressed with the spec for the price (£425), even
though I did decide I would push my budget to get a little more of what I wanted.
It seems to be that anything outside of either bottom campag/shimano stuff, you must be willing to
spend over 500 quid (for new) - something I can't really stretch to now.
This will be my first bike with a few 'new' things, like indexed shifting for one. Talking of
shifters, I had a play with the xenon ergo levers, and I do like them better than the Sora levers
(the other on the bars alternate at this level), but the plasticness does concern me a little.
I'd just like to thank everyone for the suggestions - and I have now followed up with legal advice,
which at this very early point looks good. I must say www.bikeline.co.uk explain all the important
parts of 'no win no fee' very well, and they were quick to get back to me.
