I am happy with it so far but not really sure of the bars as they have a lot of upsweep so will be looking at other options.
Going to ride it to work tomorrow to give a proper shake down.

Does look like it from the side doesn't it? but no it is 2 F's facing opposite ways with an o in the middle.
A quick ride round the block it feels fast but tomorrow will tell.

I would be grateful if you could let me know how you get on with this as I am seriously considering getting one myself.

Will do. It feels light in a pick it up kind of way. and the frame is nicly finished in fact for the price (£711) i can't fault it really so far.

Should the bars be rotated so that some of the upsweep becomes backsweep?

I tried that with the bars but then they felt to far back. It is a little different in position to my other bike so will take some getting used.

Go you know you want to.

Rode it to work this morning. The bike handles well and really responds well to rider in put. Conti tyres still seem to come up small as the speed kings on there are ment to be a 2.2 but they are smaller than the 2.0 specalized ones i have but they do roll very well on hard surfaces.

Looks nice, good buy for the money I rekon, ignore the size on Spesh tyres they are always huge compared to anyone elses and Conti's are the opposite.

Nice. Ive got a killer bee from lat years range. Love it - climbs nice and fast as well. Focus knocks out another good value bike!
