    Ive no idea about the shop, but knowing how tough it is for my lbs to get one in for a staff member as they are limited edition, the 853 frame anyway. id be wary…

    That frame looks a bit similar to the orange R8 I bought recently (for £350) 😕

    Is it really that good a deal? £350 for a steel frame, somewhere between On-one and say Cotic / Pipedream etc??

    I’ve bought from them as part of the bikeradar daily deals 5 tubes for £10, not the quickest but I think they had shed loads of tube orders all in one go.

    Fillet brazed, everyone should own a fillet brazed frame once in their life.

    As above, they’re one of my LBSs too and they’re pretty good. Seem to specialise in more run of the mill stuff in the shop but have this web based side to the business that seems to offer some really cheap stuff. Had Saracen Ariels for a grand last year…

    Probably a bit overpriced in the first place to be honest, though compared to the RRP it is obviously a good deal.

    Though if the frames really are made by Enigma, and are fillet brazed, this will go some way to explaining the price Vs a Cotic, On One, Genesis etc. whose frames are all British designed but made in Taiwan.

    That one a couple of weeks ago when I was truly happy.

    I might order a new frame every week, just so I can enjoy my weekends.

    I don’t think they were made by Enigma in the end and are fillet brazed in the far east….. Only the prototypes were UK made.
