Just sold my Defy and was after something a bit different …. been offered one of these and it looks amazing, ace kit, good frame… very tempted ! Any owners care to comment? They look to be similar to the Defy in terms of position but a lot lighter and the rear brake is interesting… any advice appreciated

Have a Xeon CDX disc which am more than happy with. Very good spec for the money and Rose very good to deal with. I take it rear brake under chain stay? That reason I went for disc as few folk had comented that lot of crap gathers there if roads dirty.

Just bought one [ex Rose demo for £680!!] Brilliant bike, SRAM force is really good, the wheels are nice and light. The rear brake is under the chainstays but this gives quite an uncluttered look. The seatpost/collar is a nice design too. Mine has the ritchey WCS finishing kit which is good quality/nicely finished.
