Geometry and fitting

[Mr Haematocrit]

Any suggestions for Porsche in terms of Sportive bike?

1) S-Works Roubaix disk with Dura-Ace Di2 with Magura MT8
2) Parlee
3) Crumpton
4) English Cycles
5) Cherubim

All these bikes will cost you in access of 10k.. Without knowing more about your budget its hard to say more, other than these will get you the experience you seem to seek.

Thanks guys. I have no specific budget, perhaps around £3000
My shopping/ buying views are perhaps not very main stream. My cars have been either Merc or Kia. I do not buy in between. For watches it is either a simple Casio or a Rolex. You get a picture.
Now I ride B Twin costing £300 and it serves me well. So either I stick with it or buy a good carbon bike. @VamP, I quite like that site. I think you can get a custom built for around £3000.
I am tempted by all your suggestions.

£2800 gets you on the lowest rung of this. Not quite a Porsche. More of a Lotus. Porsche beating performance but without the badge prestige. Might be worth considering?

biggs682, That will be very helpful.
How do I find your place?

Thanks everyone for your comments. I have learned a lot. My respect for cycling community has grown further.
I visited 4 local bike shops. None of the salesman put any pressure on me. Indeed they discouraged me from buying an expensive bikes not suitable for me. In one shop, there was a bike for £2500 which I thought was a good buy and was quite happy to buy. But the salesman explained that it is not the right one for me. Finally, I paid a deposit for Cube Agree GTC triple costing just under £1000. It has Tiagra and shimano wheel set. I preferred GTC Pro which is only £150 more but gives 105 and Aksium wheels. But my size, 53, was not available at lbs. If all goes well, I can upgrade on a later day.
