To get a similarly specked bird it’s £1840 is the bird worth the extra ?

Both frames look the same/geometry is close on both

I picked up a vitus zenium sl road frame while back in sales and it’s beatifully finished so I’ve no issues with frame quality ..

What would you do ? Oh and please throw in other bikes to confuse me further 😆

Bird, if only for the impeccable service you’ll get.

^^^^^^ Agree.

I so nearly bought a Vitus escarpe as I loved it when I demo’d it. I would go sentier and pocket the savings (join British Cycling and save another 10%)…but bird get a great name as well. Don’t think you would be unhappy with either.

I get bc discount I think that seals it £400 in the pocket 🙂
