@Milzy I don’t agree with the BSO comment. Yes it has basic Claris running gear but it’s got full internal routing cable which you don’t see on many bikes under £1.2k these day so makes for a very clean look. Compared to the lower entry 50 model it is reasonable and against other brands it’s competitive. I’d see it as a upgrade worthy frame unlike say a Carrera vanquish while half the price is no where near as good in terms of quality of finish (I own one).
I suppose It would be a good winter bike. You could easily source a better crankset and rear mech for not much money, then later upgrade the wheels. So not bad really.
