Rose have reduced their prices due to exchange rates. Makes them attractive even compared to canyon.£2.3k for dura ace. But there are no reviews. Anyone ride one. I think they are x lite, the ones I'm interested in.

I've got a cross bike of thiers I'm very happy with. Would replace it with the same again. Mate has a couple of the road bikes and swears by them though I haven't seen them.

I've been looking at the xeon 3100 di2, hydro discs, full ultegra di2, dt swiss wheels, ritchey finishing kit and nicely thought out carbon frame. All that for £2250, nothing from anyone else comes even close. Just need to free up money!! They all seem to get good reviews too.
I have always had that nagging "why are they so cheap" feeling but nothing has been discovered in negative press to tell me not to bother.

A friend of mine ordered one at the end of last year, still hasn't turned up and he keeps getting 'it's been delayed, will be with you by xxxxxx' Rather annoying considering it's an off the shelf job

Had the same thought with Cube in the beginning but nothing cam e even close to the spec of my AMS Race at the price it was - add paying cash and it was even cheaper.
Think direct from the manufacturer so no importers, distribution, good rate on the Euro too - means a bargain.

I have one of their cross bikes too. A Rose Pro DX Cross 4400.
I like it a lot. It was pretty hard spec to beat for the price and that was before the rates dropped.

Bought a Xeon CRS3000 couple of years ago based on the Bikeradar reviews.
Customer service were quick to answer questions and I liked tweaking the bikes spec online. The bike is more capable than I'll ever be sadly, it's whippet fast but still ok plodding through 100m sportives. Had a bottom bracket fitted last year and guys in lbs commented on quality of kit and finish.
