Looks like I’ve got the hang of it now !
Bargain price but those seat stays look worryingly flimsy ?

Just to say they also have some silly cheap Vaude bags and other bits on clearance as well. Vaude being superb.

The proportions make it look like it should be a gravel e-bike...

The weight seemed really odd to me when these were flagged up a few weeks ago. I assumed it was a very heavy set of wheels

I think there's a serious amount of value there for a grand. No doubt the wheels etc. will be heavy, but easier to upgrade than starting with a heavy frame.

The wheels on my Marin Gestalt were almost 500g heavier than the £90 Prime Attaquers that I've just fitted.

That's a strange build, Tiagra cassette and front mech? GRX 400 on (apparently) £2200 RRP build?

For £999 right enough it doesn't seem bad, am pretty sure my 853 build with mostly nice parts on it is close to that weight with pedals etc. and it's still fun to ride.

Parts bin special, was clearly never worth 2.2k but at 999 it might suit someone that has a decent set of wheels to stick on it.

I’ve been to see this bike today, it is far better looking in real life, I was sorely tempted, but have enough bikes, and not enough money. They do have a better spec’d version at £1300. They also have some lovely GT MTBs at less than half price.I did buy one of the Vaude backpacks they have, I was expecting to get one at £55, but bought the slightly cheaper one here:
