    I’ve had the Sram Force 10
    I’ve had the Sram Force 10 speed version for a year and a half and it is great, it was my first carbon bike and it’s completely changed my riding, for the money it’s an amazing bundle, I’ve done seven sportives on it this year, a few centuries, used it to ride my 20 mile round trip commute in all weather, overall around 6000 miles and it’s had absolutely no troubles. Even being hit side on by a blind motorist that folded the front wheel in half did absolutely no damage to the frame and forks (maybe more luck than anything!). I have changed the wheels, finishing kit and cockpit on it and I’ve got the weight down to around 7kgs (without pedals, bottle cages and Garmin mount) so it’s even light with the right kit.

    I’ll end now before I start sounding like a P-X salesman, but I genuinely think I got the best bike available at the price range. The only other ones I’d recommend looking at are Canyon.

    I got a Pro Carbon SRAM Rival
    I got a Pro Carbon SRAM Rival 10 speed Wifli earlier in the year for £999, and it’s been a dream, so for £799 it’s even more of a bargain!
    Looks super slick (in Matte Black) and been impressed with the Rival groupset!

    Go for it! Such good value for money!

    I take it this is a pre built option, rather than one you can customise etc?

    I use one for a winter bike and am always impressed the first time I get on it after putting my summer bike away.

    Out of interest, what exactly makes the frame old fashioned?

    For anyone looking for their first foray into carbon (on a budget) or for a fast winter ‘second’ bike, that’s a bargain. It may not be 2015 technology and some will take issue with a mass-produced Far East frame, but it’s still not bad.

    My 2002 Pinarello is very ‘old fashioned’ too. But it rides like a dream. So I dont give a flying … fig if it is considered old fashioned or not.

    But they still get very good reviews from a lot of happy users.
