Six of the best aluminium road bikes - from Mason, Kinesis, Cannondale, Condor, Bowman and Vitus

David has worked on the road.cc tech team since July 2012. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK. He's a seasoned cyclist of all disciplines, from road to mountain biking, touring to cyclo-cross, he only wishes he had time to ride them all. He's mildly competitive, though he'll never admit it, and is a frequent road racer but is too lazy to do really well. He currently resides in the Cotswolds.

Yep those are the other compromises I referred to. But perhaps if you're dropping £4K on an aero bike you have another one for when it's dark 😉
