Have clocked up about 600 km since I got the bike. Have had no problems. Bike is light sturdy and very good value for the money. Pedals and lights were scrapped and replaced. Saddle could be better colour rubbing. replaced with Selle royal which is more comfortable. Overall great value for it price, and looks and rides well too.
I bought the 51cm for my 10 yr old nephew. It is really hard to find a reasonably priced roadbike. This really fits the bill. It is surprisingly light, got a decent spec of components on it and rides really well with a stiff but not harsh aluminium frame and forks.
Bought this bike to go out with a work mate who does not 'do' mounting biking and I can keep up with him on my full sus when he is riding a Scott Carbon road bike!
This is a well built light weight bike. I am not a light rider (16.5 stone) and the frame seems strong and comfortable. It does have a little flex when really putting th power down, but nothing to detract from the ride.
The bike come with some cheap pedals and cheap lights, but these can all be ditched. The saddle is also not of the best quality and the silver colour starts to come off after the first ride. There is a little setting up involved, including the brake cables, wheels, pedals handlebars, stem and then the gears need adjusting. This took me about an hour all in.
For £325 this bike is a bargain. So there are a couple of cheap bits but they are really unimportant. I have had the bike a couple of week and done about 250 miles so far on it and I am very happy.
