Punted in the direction of the gf who is on the lookout for her first road bike.. that is silly cheap. My cx team is almost identical and cost the better part of 1k.

Sorry, I don't think this is very good value. The Merlin Malt-R is £600 and that comes with full Tiagra including brake calipers and chainset - not Tekro or FSA jobbies. Also check out the BTwin Triban 5 for £429 - amazing value for money.

Bugger. The girlfriend missed it because she's in Birmingham getting pissed. Totally wrong priorities!

I was going to say - it's not bad value as it is, but at £430 it'd be brilliant.

It was less than that, in fact. Take 10% off that figure! smile
