Tempted by one of these- seem like good value and a quality frame. Anyone got one? How do they ride? Cheers!

I have the Alu version.. Great bike spoilt by poor brakes and heavy wheels.. Pretty good value for money though all the same and think it will be a keeper once I get round to sorting the bits I don't like.

Bought one late last year, not used it as much as I would have liked due to work but I changed the brakes which was the only thing I wasn't happy about (some lighter wheels would be nice but can't justify it at the moment) and very happy with it, rides very well.

I too have the Alu. It's only 300gr heavier than the composite version.

I don't mind the brakes, but prefer the Formula. (i now have fitted)

The Wheels are 2100gr for the pair which isn't terrible, but not wonderfully light either.

I love the bike, for me personally it needed riser bars.
