i have last years, i rely like it. mine has a very large spread of gears, the small ring on the front is rely small and the big ring on the back is quite big but i have never run out of gears either on the flat or up hill. i have not done a massive amount of miles on it but it has never needed any adjustments at all

I have a focus Cayo but mine has 105 not ultegra (otherwise they are the same bike)
I like mine - I had to change the saddle, bars and stem because they were cheap Focus brand stuff (Concept)
I also changed the compact chainset because the 34T ring is useless in Norfolk! Just replaced it with a 39T ring.
The riding position is slightly racey but not too much - if you want something for distance riding you might not like the geometry and the bars are fairly low - but for training and occasional racing it's perfect (that's what I do)
Can't fault the bike for the price really especially if you get a good deal - got my 105 version for £960 which was a bargain.
however, I just looked on wiggle and they have NO cayo experts on the site right now!!!

I have a Focus Variado Expert with full ultegra, it is now my winter bike.
Cost me 699 a couple of years ago, it is a great bike certainly never had any issues at all.

Someone parks one up outside Brighouse sports centre every Tuesday, looks nice, but the centre's only been open three weeks so I've not seen it in daylight.
I have the Focus Cayo 2009 with Ultegra set up and think this bike is awesome. My bike has cycled 9,000 miles in 2 years and has been to France, Switzerland and UK (having done lejog twice) and has been problem free (save replacing chain and rear sprocket after service). All magazine reviews score this bike highly.
