PSA: CRC currently have the 2018 Vitus Sentier VRS with 23% off, down to £999 from the RRP of £1299, with BC discount that’s £900 for a modern slack hardtail with 130mm RS Rebas, brand X dropper, SLX 1×11, SLX brakes, 2.6″ maxxis tyres, nukeproof finishing kit, WTB rims, boost spacing front and rear.

That’s a cracking bike for the money.

That’s a steal. Hard to argue against any of that spec, it even has fancy 3C tyres.

I’ve seen a similar soec Focus but in carbon for £1200 in lbs that looks a mostvexcellent deal down from £2000 or so iirc

I like the fact the XL model has 800mm bars, there’s some thought actually gone into the specs.

Just paid for mine the other day. Eagerly waiting for delivery now.

My first bike purchase in more than 15 years! Just hope the thing fits and that i shake this flu off in time for next weekend!

What size did you go for?

That’s a bargain

I went for a medium however i was unsure between that and large. Hopefully it’ll be ok but they’ll arrange an exchange for 15 quid if not according to customer services.

A 150mm dropper post & a chain guide too.  You even don’t see that on some bikes 3 X the price.

They are really well thought out in terms of geometry & specification.
