Looking to buy the Tiagra version @ £599. Is there anything else out there I might need to consider for that price?
Cx/road/gravel all rounder type bikes. I've never owned one before so not sure what else is out there and the price on the Mango seems pretty good. Cheers
I've just bought a frameset and cobbled it together tonight. Will test on the commute tomorrow. The green is a bit intense in the flesh!
They look like a right bargain to me.
This write up was on another thread a few days ago.

Calling Mr Piemonster to teh forum......
I have one. I like it. A lot.
Big tyres. Tubeless compatible rims. Looks ace. Rides well.
Took it to the Alps up some silly climbs. Rode it round some dirty gravel roads. Ride it to work every day.
Brilliant bike.
Also - that's me up there ^^ and yes, I would buy one.
Halfords Vodoo something or other? Spotted earlier.

I'm spending a wee bit more on a Ridley x trail 😕
GregMay, how 'comfortable' is it? I know that' subjective but I've got an older Pinnacle Arkose which is my commuter bike, but it's quite harsh when running on 32c road tyres.In particular, if I use it for winter road miles you can really notice the lack of comfort over time. I'm looking for something that's not too expensive but doesn't leave me beaten up after a few miles.
Can I also ask how capable is it off road on very muddy but not particularly technical trails? What's the clearance like on 33mm cx tyres.
Funny you should say that straightliner, I have to say I don't find my Arkose especially comfy either. Its fine but for its relative heft, it doesn't smooth out the road buzz that well. Maybe I should run my 28mm tyres at slightly lower pressures.
Anyone got any feedback on theirs?
I've spent all day at home waiting in vain for mine to be delivered, I'm pretty unimpressed tbh with their "3-5 working day" delivery - it's now been 7 and I still don't have a bike and I'm back at work on Monday.
