I like the look of that.

Evans have previously admitted to some pricing errors on BMC stuff - I wonder if that falls into the same category?

no question its a nice looking bike, reckon the first 4 should be a 1 or a 2 though.

That's what all bikes are going to cost next year.

I hope someone hit 4 twice and there should only be one of them 😯

They do the same frame with Alfine 8 and 11 setups and they're an awful less than that.

Not in the same league though, looks like it's missing a shopping basket at the front

55/20 sounds like a monster gear for SS, is that normal?

I'll wager the price is right, the KCNC pedals are >£100, the saddle is knocking £200, EC90 finishing kit is £400+ for bars/post/stem

I'd far rather save £1500 and have this:
