Road Bike with Shimano 105 for £800 and under?

Well I can't imagine it's correct given the spec on the scott site. Avoid 2300 if you can get Tiagra for your budget

Is that the retailer you are using?

Just put the S50 from the Scott site and the one from my local retailer side by side and they are different colours?

2013 vs 2014?

This is the one on the UK site - 24 speed triple, 2300 shifters, SORA derailleur

Possibly. Will check at the shop tomorrow and confirm. If it is correct, have I found a good deal?

Just a bit

Looks more like a mistake at the shop website then.

Regardless, all advice is greatly appreciated

Bloody hell!

Definitely a mistake then

Go look at the bikes, sit on them, ask to test ride them. Approx how tall and inside leg are you? If a noob, getting the right size roadbike can be a lottery - perhaps someone can help give you a probably size

 

[Welshdan]

I'm 6 foot 3 and roughly 34 inch inside leg. The chap at my LBS said he would make sure I'm 'fitted' correctly, Tredz and another retailer also offered to do this too

Giant Defy 1 on sale? Giant retailers have some deals on the 2013, whether you can use cyclescheme to get that deal, not sure

This. Awesome bike

Bought from ash aswell. Top notch service.

Again, dunno if OP can use his C2W scheme buying online

Not really, could be it has a Sram Red chain (or some other Sram Red component) and the rest of the components made from cheese

Still a naughty way of advertising

Will have to check. I'm not 100% sure. Thank you for all your advice

Even the 2012 model at this retailer is coming up with SRAM gear
