If you fancy a bit of carbon glamour to spice up your ride then check out the Jamis Ventura Race Femme at only £960. The carbon fibre tubing at the rear end reduces road shock and vibration on longer rides and helps to lighten the frame weight too. The full carbon composite straight bladed fork and tapered headtube are usually featured on higher end race bikes and rarely seen in this price bracket. Price: RRP £960 (now just £850) More information from UK importer Evans Cycles or Jamis Cycles
