LOL, I wake up some mornings and just fancy a change, but a replacement for my R1100, would be hard to find.

I stand by my comment. "It is without a doubt the best road bike I have ever ridden"

Dave, it was on the bike when I bought it. I actually thought it was standard untill someone mentioned it last summer.
