Hi guys anyone know anything about this bike? Looking to pull the trigger on one currently £1699 with £1200 discount. Seems pretty good value is there a twist?

Buy it, good bikes by all accounts and the reviews I've seen are favourable. They've suffered because they are seen as a windsurfing brand dabbling in the bike market and thus are ignored by the badge snobs. What wheelset is it fitted with? I saw the road.cc review had some awful looking Rolf wheels on it which I'd swap immediately...

It seems to be a pretty good deal. The wheels are Shimano WHRS31 which Merlin will post to you for £130, so they'll be ripe for upgrading at some point, but perfectly functional right from the off. The only thing putting me off is the lack of a link to a sizing/geometry chart to work out the correct size for me.

Westbrook look to have a lot of good reductions on the Neil Pryde bikes at the moment, and the (2013) Scott Foil 20 is massively reduced too. I'm going to chivvy my solicitor along to get my compensation sorted so that I can nab one of these bargains to replace my 'killed to death by a van' Merida sooner rather than later...
