The 2011, Radio Shack team kit would go perfect with it.

Looks perfect, It's next on my list to buy, just got the Leopard Trek shirt and its spot on for my blue and white madone.

The only thing that bugs me is that radio pocket that is supposed to be sewn into the back, thought it would come in useful to stash more ride necessities but all I can find is a button hole to pass a wire through. Maybe with the radio ban, its well hidden.

I took my Planet X SL Pro up to the Queen''s place at Balmoral for a wee blast and then went over to Cock Bridge to see how it was on the hills. Turns out that it climbs like a beast but this doesn't make you any less tired at the top, you just get there more quickly.

- Parked out the front of Balmoral

- On the road to Cock Bridge

Doesn't the radio normally go into a small pocket on the back of the bib shorts.

The radio pocket is on the inside of the jersey, I just run my wire up my back and then under my bibs over my shoulders

The bars look rather high when compared to your saddle.

depends on the build of the rider. Hope Larry doesn't mind me saying - but the avatar make him look like he's got quite short legs.

hey JD, how did you find the order process and mainly the fitting of the bike when you bought online as i'm thinking of doing the same and possibly the same bike?

Hi,

I have just bought my first carbon bike from Wiggle and here it is:

The Focus Cayo 105:

What about the bar reach though mate?

Since I brought the same bike, I'd add my reply. I brought it from Wiggle, and the bike arrived 4 days later, fully set up only needing handlebars to be put on, and pedals. Wiggle also have a system where you enter your height+inside leg, and they put the bike set-up to your size. When I got on the bike, only a few mm of seatpost needed adjusting. If you don't like the size of the frame, you always have the 30 day test ride to send it back.
