I've had my Secteur since August.I really like it though it's my first road bike and I can't compare it with anything else. The finish is really good though a little on the plain side. I've purchased from Halford's some nice thin, red stripes and I've stuck these on around the top tube near the seat post and at the top of the bottom tube (if that makes sense). I've taken a lot of care to make it look professional, so now it's not just a plain grey bike.
I'm actually still tweaking the positions. For me the seat needs to be right back. Don't forget that the headset thingy (shows my knowledge of bike parts!) has a sleeve inside that you can twist 180degrees for a more raised tilt on the handlebars (that's how mine is set up), plus, you can turn it around on a vertical plane for even greater handlebar elevation. You may also wish to twist the handlebars away or towards you.
I've taken the reflectors off the wheels alongwith the plastic disk at the top of the cassette.
There's nothing wrong with the saddle at all though I've purchased a second hand brown, Brook's Swift which I get on very well with.
For clipless pedals I've got Look Keo's and have now been through the mandatory falling off the bike at traffic lights and crossroads in full view of the public. I wouldn't do without them though I'm now considering "no float" fittings.
Moving up from my old hybrid I notice a heck of a difference. Getting closer and closer to 60 I ain't the fittest but I've now done my first century on it. I used to average around 12.5mph on the hybrid and, overall, I guess the Secteur has upped this to around 14.5 mph.
If I continue to enjoy my cycling and manage to get the RAB finished I can see myself getting a lighter, faster road bike and then I will be posting some threads for advice from members!!!
