Can anyone give me advice on this bike ? Does it have a good spec ? What is the frame quality Thanks

That's a very good bike but you will struggle to get up hills with it unless you are really strong.

It has the same gear ratios as the Ribble, i just missed out on that one . ! Whats involved if i want to change the front rings ? is it complete swop .

42x25 will be hard up steep/long climbs.

I've never changed the front chainrings.

Can the smaller ring be removed on the Ultegra 6700 ?

They don't do a chainset with a 42T ring, only 52/39, 53/39 or 50/34 http://cycle.shimano-eu.com/publish/content/global...

The guy's probably living in the past when a 52/42 was the norm. Oh, and "peddles"

Its a 53/39 whats wrong with the pedals ?

[Rouleur]

His spelling!

Make more sense to put a bigger cassette on the back, that's what I'm planning on doing as I'm just starting out and finding 39x25 a bit too much on the really slow steep stuff round here. Them's some proper manly gears on that bike!

On the plus side it'd give you legs like tree trunks after a few months.

I bought the Mythos last year on the C2W scheme, but opted for Sram rival (compact chainset).

Have to say i'm very impressed with the bike, cracking value for money and so far have had no issues.

Just for your info, Dolan had an offer on last summer offering the ultegra spec mythos for £1000 (about 2 weeks after mine was delivered!!)

Just an observation, but the stem and bar combo look very long for the frame size, I am guessing whoever it was built for has a the arms and torso of a baboon.
