Ok here's my problem,

Im currently riding a Colnago Dream HX - love it, but as you know after a while you get itchy for a new bike....

So I am considering a FOCUS CAYO or the Izalco are they any good - has anyone got one, if so what are your thoughts?

I'm really struggling to go away from the Colnago Brand, as every one I've had I love, the geometry is spot on.

Thoughts?

I say go for a test ride. Should be a pain free transition as FOCUS geometry is almost a carbon copy of Colnago's, so the handling would feel familiar.

When comparing the geometry I thought they were the same...which is good for me.

Only problem is, I can't find one to test ride in Sydney. I think its just a mail order thing?. They should distribute them here in Australia, I think they would do quite well, especially now that they are with Milram.

If I can test ride one, i'd post a review on the bunch rider site - I've had a quite a few people in the bunches talking about the Focus bikes.
