    Hi all,
    I'm thinking of buying the above bike and would love to hear your views on it. I suffer from a bad back(I'm 28) from time to time and am wondering what the ride position would b like on this. It costs 1400 euro and am wondering is there anything better on the market for that money????

    I have the 2009 model, and have had major back problems over the years (4 disc operations), but have found the Cayo very comfortable.

    Mine had better a better spec, and have never been any trouble (I've probably done getting on for 15,000km on it), although clearly I have needed to replace worn parts

    really ?

    now colnago do it well but those verenti (do you really want to drive a bike with verenti written on it)

    really ?

    Didn't realise that they're Wiggle own brand. Still, for €1200 delivered that bike is good value & looks alot better than a PX Pro carbon imo!
    now colnago do it well

    Yes but you wouldn't even get a Colnago lugged frame for €1200.
    do you really want to drive a bike with verenti written on it

    :pac:

    The Boardman Comp was my other option before I ended up with that very same Cayo. Have over 10,000km on the cayo now and no complaints.
