How much riding are you doing a week? What sort of training do you do? Have you been sizes for this
frame? Have you test ridden a variety of bikes? I don't want to dampen your spirits, just be wary of
spending 7 grand on a bike with insufficient research. You may end up with a very expensive bike
that doesn't suit you...I don't know what level you are competing at, but you could get a bike that is only
_marginally_ slower for half that amount. Remember, it's the engine that makes the most
difference, not the bike! :-)hippy
