I think I've decided
« on: 16 March, 2016, 04:50:02 pm »
M5 M-Racer, in stealth black

low enough seat for my short legs, not carbon, but lets face it only Schlitter do carbon at that price (if you can get hold of them)
Probably go for a carbon fork

Just need to price up bits and pieces and then get budget approved by SWMBO

EDIT - unless a second hand Fujin SL1 pops up out of nowhere

Noticed that one, tempted but 1) seat height is nearer 60cm, vs the 41 of the M5 and 2) it has rim brakes and grip shifters both of which I would want to change.  The grip shifters were the least favourite part of my ICE B2.

I reckon price differential of new M5 vs the second hand schlitter would be about £200

It's all compromises.

Ain't that the truth!

Just pick the ones you can live with.
