[3rtt]

If you could choose any road bike to test ride, any brand , any model any price, what would you choose and why ?

Probably something from Halfords, it's the only shop big enough to ride through, all the other shop are too small to turn round in.

Gazza has never been to a Decathlon store then? You have to keep your eyes open while in there as there are so many people dicking about on bikes.

I'd like to try a Cannondale Supersix as I am new to road bikes and only know what an entry level CAAD8 is like.

I have a CAAD8 winter bike and a super six. Same geometry. SS is waaaaay better. Get one. If you're at the PH get together at the wiggle circuit breaker you can try mine

Thanks Mike - Kind offer.

I bought the CAAD8 after getting the itch to try road cycling. If I am still cycling more than using my motorbike in 12 months time, I will dip into my future new motorbike pot and get an SS and keep my CAAD8 as a commuter/winter bike.

No, no I haven't. Nearest one is an hours drive away, on the wrong side of Sheffield.

Is there a right side of Sheffield?

If you are spending enough money, a trip to the Canyon showroom is probably worthwhile, I'm sure you could fill a car with interested parties and its do-able in a day... right now I'd like a go on a Look 795 Aerolight but I dont have teh £8k to buy one so it would be like going to the playboy mansion and then putting on a blindfold....

Pinarello Dogma F8 so I can try it back to back with my Dogma 65.1 and the Pinarello Maat again to test it back to back with my Xtrack

The UK distributor has their outlet in Swindon. They told me a few months ago that from next spring they plan to allow people to take out any of their bikes for a test rides. Do group / club invites etc.
