What e road bike should I buy?

[Contactmel303]

Took a Focus paralane out for a test ride the othe day absolutely loved it flew up hills. Only problem should I spend £4.5k on one?

Thinking of testing a Ribble SLe and a Orbea Gain.

Anyone got any of the above and what sort of experience have they had.
I live in a very hilly area and knees are getting bad. I’m after something with a decent range too.

If the hills are fairly steep and your knees are fairly bad then you might want to consider a Cannondale Synapse Neo. Take a look at this thread I started some time ago.

Well I’ve narrowed down my choice to ether the Ribble SLe or the Cube Agree C:62 e bike simler price. Anyone got ether of these bikes? Going for a test ride on the Ribble next week already tested the cube and really liked it.
