Carbon bike hunting, any ideas?
Been reading road.cc articles for a few years now, but never looked at the forum before. So hi 
Anyway, i'm on the hunt in the winter sales for a carbon bike, on a budget of a thousand pounds. I had my heart set on either a Cube Agree 105 or a Focus Cayo 3.0. But neither of them seems to come down in price yet, while i see other nice bikes appearing and getting sold out. Anyone got an idea why these two bikes are not getting reduced (yet)? Or what else to get in my budget? Few limitations: i'm a Shimano man so no Campa or SRAM, and good as they may be i'll pass on Boardmans.

Breaking the budget by 30% and over 50% respectively, you guys must be civil servants?

You're wrong.
The carbon bike you should be looking for is in fact Aluminium.
It is called a Cervelo S1.
I don't know how many time I have had
this argument.

Also.
SRAM.
Cannondale supersix 105 is always good, usually go to about £1300 this time of year
