Grateful for your thoughts on how best to spend £3000 - £4000 on a road bike. My local bike shop has Orbeas, Treks and Ridleys. Does this provide access to best in class (budget) or should I look elsewhere. Many thanks

I'm salivating at the thought!
For that money I would consider custom build to your shape / riding style -- are you after a Road Bike or pure TT Bike ?
Happy Training

so unless you are some really weird size you could get a standard frame and custom build your bike out of all the bits you wanted and get the perfect bike for you!
I only suggested the soloist as you mentioned you wanted a road bike, as appose to a full on TT, but presumeably you will be wanting to be aero on flat courses, so i thought of the soloist as it can be easily adjusted to bring the seat forward for aero riding.
My no money option road bike Parlee Z1 - Designed from the ground up for custom geometry, Z1s may be customized by 1mm and .1-degree increments to fulfill any custom design from 47cm to 63cm.
The Z1 design is flexible to accommodate just about any rider or riding style - from aggressive triathlete to relaxed randonneur.
