The wet weather is fine with carbon. The trouble comes on a hot day, when like any plastic it will melt/stretch. You will leave home on a 54cm frame and come back on a 56. However, just pop it in the fridge and it should return to normal.

As for the garmin, there's only one logical choice - chop it in for an 800, which is black, so it matches the handlebars etc.

Ah! Cheers for the advice, dc!

Anyone know where I can get a very large fridge, then?

The Garmin is going to have to stay, for now at least. The wife will be properly on the warpath if I start spending money on stuff I already have. Although I'm wishing I'd stretched to an Edge800 in the first place now

...although their own web prices were cheaper, and some web based retailers were cheaper still. Still a good deal overall, I think, and far easier than trying to negotiate a deal for a discount or complimentary accessories with many a shop. I'm pretty happy with the deal, and I suppose that's all that really matters! I also signed up for their web card, which allows me to buy in-store at the same price as their internet shop, or 10% off shop price, whichever is the lower, which meant I saved £5.70 off the lights and saddle bag too.

Oh, and Pedal On have really good coffee, too

Their web card is great. They just updated them and I handed my old one back to them and it was one of the first they issued to customers at no 12 or something, which they were going to frame it. They are a great shop and always helpful and sometimes, its not all about the 'best costing deal' as you know if you have any issue , they will sort it out. Looks a lovely bike, well chosen.
