    Not ridden one or even seen
    Not ridden one or even seen one but every comment I read about them is positive.

    I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

    If any on gives you grief
    If any on gives you grief then try this for a story. Tell them for the price of that £1200 bike that they are probably riding, the money I’ve saved on the Triban 3 I’ve bought a bike bag and week away with Sir Brad in Mallorca!!!! Who’s laughing now!!!! 😉

    I love mine!! Many bike
    I love mine!! Many bike snobs do put it down but at £300 it fantastic! Yes if you can afford £600 plus for 2013 Sora or knock on the door of £1000 for something running 105. Then 2300 and unbranded – unknown cranks and cockpit bits may seem a bit pants, but I repeat its £300. For that you get a decent light ish wheelset, good brakes (own branded btwin, but work just fine!) a Sora front mec and yes a carbon fork. The frame geo feels spot on too, smooth and stable but steerable and directional when you need it to be. To repeat, £300 for 10 kilos ish, you do the maths, price for weight it is far ahead of any thing else out there.
    Felt Z100 £550 (discount £480 ish) / Marlin Argengta £700ish / Bordman Sport £499 (Alloy fork)
    All above run 2300 and there are many more out there from the usual suspects but not at £300
    I clicked and collected mine from my nearest store and it was fully built by some one who by taking to him in the shop seemed to know and have a passion for all things bike!
