CERVÉLO C2 £2399

The C-Series bikes are brilliant performers but both the C3 and C5 models are too expensive to be realistic propositions for most riders. The new C2 model uses a more modest spec list, comprising mainly 105 gears and alloy finishing kit, to bring it in at a more walletfriendly price. Does this cutprice Cervélo deserve to follow in the tyre tracks of its big-budget siblings?
