Their website designer looks to have cocked up the copy and paste

Do Scott even sell any bikes with SRAM red?

There are loads of cycle paths in the South Wales valleys, and plenty of quiet roads. My aim is to get fitter but also to relax and enjoy my downtime from work.

I appreciate everyone's input.

Don't you mean time off, downtime is usually when something doesn't work, ah I see it, stupid me.
re. the advert is states a compact double, pic is a triple. not to mention the weight is even more than my viking striped down

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

its clearly a scott addict thats been misadvertised. you can tell this from the frame description. im surprised no ones thought to ring the bloke and tell him to sort his website out. i might do that today rather than fritter my time speculating here on it.

To throw another name out there. Found another local LBS and he has a Cube Peloton.

Again thanks for all your input. If any of you have a Sky related question feel free to drop me a message

Tredz sell giant. Cube good bikes too. The peloton has entry level groupset, several below the 105. Also it's a triple if that's what you want? 105 is a double

I would say for £800 you'll struggle to better the defy 2 http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Giant-Defy-2-2013-Road-Bike_56257.htm

But the bike needs to fit you and please the eye

[vickster]

Sora decent too, lose a couple of gears and gain a smudge of weight http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Cannondale-Caad8-Sora-2013-Road-Bike_56417.htm

The reason for wanting a triple is due to the very large hills and mountains that surround me. Even though there is plenty of flat roads, I have some of them hills in my sights for the future

I've got a 105 compact double (50/34) with 11-28 on the back, which gives a good low gear for steep hills.

I don't think 105 offers triple now, I could be wrong though!
