I am already getting visits from Google for 'White XC Pro' so to be fair to the other stores I can mention them too. I said the other day that XXL has an Ultegra LVG for 13000kr and thought that was pretty cheap. But what does CykelCity have to offer at the same level? Quite a bit actually.

First we have their Columbus Pinta RS for 12000kr which is 105-spec and with Fulcrum Racing 7 wheels. In combination with the service and the fact that you will leave CykelCity with a bike that is assembled and set up for you, I think we have a winner here.

But, fine, you say that you need Ultegra. I myself like the feel of the Ultegra STi compared to 105 and the TRP EuroX brakes on my Ridley (Ultegra) have more power than those on my Merida (105). But other than that I don't notice any difference. So enter Columbus Vola E2 for 15800kr. Full Ultegra and Racing 5 wheels. Very nice. Okay, so then maybe you find Columbus ugly and want something else. Why not their BMC Streetracer 105 for 13000kr? Damn fine looking bike for the money if you ask me. I had been considering the Cérvelo S1 which is 20000kr this year but their spec list is kind of stripped compared to last year's so I wonder if BMC is not the best choice now.

Overall, XXL is not looking like such a good deal anymore. At least for LVG. But the fact still remains that we have no good MTB stores in the Göteborg area so for that I think it will be 1-0 Norway for mud.
