Seems a good - ish price for a race machine? What don't I know?

Dutch brand I believe. Seems to be on par with Cube in terms of price to kit ratio. I was thinking of buying one of their alloy 29ers when Merlin were doing them for cheap a while back but I missed the boat on the model I wanted.
Used to sell Be One many years ago in my parents shop.
Quality was ok then, no idea what it's like now - I think they're owned by Accell who also own Raleigh ,Ghost and Lapierre.
I'm not believing that weight for that spec though!
I spotted these when a colleague was looking for a new bike. I [i]think[/i] I read something about Merlin buying a job lot because of some sort of insolvency. Not 100% certain, but rings a bell.
had a beone MTB and road bike, both from when CRC sold them.
MTB was a Karma, can't remember what road bike was.
Both were OK, decent spec for price, didn't explode.
Not got either now, they were both fairly uninspiring, but it was years ago.
