Probably putting this in the wrong thread if so please move it. The FC 3 is tested in this months cycling active. Good write up getting 94% only complaint being the Tiagra gearing. Will be of interest for anyone thinking of stepping up.

Hes only 4rsey because he cant fiddle with his rear mech! good write up for the fc3 there, t7 owners might want to watch it, decca are offering the fc3 frame and fork set for 400 atm, switch all your t7 components over and youve got a full fc3 i hate when this happens though, got my eye on some wheels then this, ffs christmas is coming, dont they know how expensive a five year old is?

did you get your free wallet soda? thats going to get nce and condensationey when tucked in your jacket, my phones not going anywhere near it I've been using a slightly smaller version of the same type of plastic wallet for my phone for a few months now and the only moisture I've experienced with it has been on the outside, with heat off my lower back on it. Anyway, your phone's pish!!!

Anyone getting the mag do it in Tesco and get your free Muc Off sponge and no I didn't buy mine there. There are other stores but don't know about sponges.

Now this is news to me. Noticed that I saw a new CA edition in the asda yesterday. Is that the one with the FC3? Will I sorely want a FC3 but not willing to give up Whitney for one. Β£400 for the frame and fork sounds reasonably but is it worth it that way for an upgrade? Are there better frames out there for less that are full carbon? At the end of the day I am looking for a third bike strictly for sportive and some racing now and them if so inclined. Whitney and I will still be going to work together! Oh but this is still so tempting!!!!

Oh but this is still so tempting!!!! SIMPLE ANSWER: NO And believe its a tourt proven frame, that particular toray carbon weave so it is a damn good frame, why is it cheap? is 6 years old and the fact that the joints are angular may contribute to a slightly weaker frame, but when say slightly weaker you wouldnt notice unless you were a pro pumping out 500+ watts still, sanity reigns for me, im not doing anything til im 40 so ive a year and a bit yet, the it will be de rosa, it has to be
