  • The Focus Cayo isn't quite the bargain it was (mine has a full Ultegra groupset whereas this year it has an FSA chainset and brakes) but it's still really good value, especially if you or someone you know has a platinum Wiggle discount:

    Throw a £325 set of RS80s on and that's a really decent road bike for the money IMO. /mytuppence

    I have a 2009 Ultegra Cayo and find it a great ride. However, as suggested above, I think it's now more of a "good deal" than the outright bargain it used to be. Thought about swapping the stock Aksiums out for RS80's or even Dura-Ace 7850CL's but went for Pro-Lite Bracciano's in the end - a great wheel for the money and made a big improvement. Was also worried about it being on the aggressive side (I do distance rides and am in no way a racer), but have had no problems on longer rides - the compact bars are even comfy in the drops over distance. See them on eBay for under a grand - a steal at that price - and would leave plenty of $$$ to upgrade wheels, saddle etc?
