This, for just £279.99 with the additional discount applied, which seems to make it a very good deal indeed...

I know I'd be tempted if only circumstances permitted.

Problem i have with this is that is almost 10kg for an 8-speed bike. Carbon fork? might as well be made from lead instead.

So would 10kg for an 11 speed bike be ok? The number of gears per se isn't going to make a significant difference to the weight of a bike. A few tens of grams in the cassette and chain is neither here or there.

10kg for an 11 speed is more acceptable. I say this but my Hoy Shizuoka .001 weighs in at 10.3kg and that only has 8 gears.

I'd already checked this out for her #TooMuchTimeOnMyHands

If anyone finds a decent, small road bike well under £300 pounds, mention it here

If @bumblebee has tesco points she can double their value for use at Evans. They have a couple of sub £350 women's road bikes

Are you saying that in your view more gears = more weight? Surely the opposite is more likely to be true. An 8 speed bike will probably have lower-end and heavier components than an 11 speed? The bike in question is listed at £500 rrp. I very much doubt that that there are many sub 10kg bikes at this price level.
