Likey or No Likey You Decide

[Edge705]

Take a look at this for £2000 If it had a FELT Sticker it would be £4k for the same spec

BT'Win's FACET 9 top of the range Road Racer as raced by their team includeS free look keo carbon pedals and wheighs just 7.1kg (with pedals) Boy is this one light bike

Im not convinced and am taking it for a test ride tomorrow I've got 10 days to make up my mind I think the down tube is a little ugly However its much better in the flesh than in pictures so Likey or No Likey !

MAVIC CARBON SPOKED R-SYS WHEELS £1050 RRP

FULL SRAM RED GROUPO

Likey.

 

[fossyant]

Awesome value. Looks good too.

I like it, and I like the boxy downtube as well. As a former multiple Focus bike owner I'm all for VFM brands that take the fight to the big boys.
The seat tube is similar to the Trek Madone 5.5 I used to have just not quite as aero.
I think you should know though, the seat stays are terribly bent, perhaps you could get some money knocked off
btwin bikes certainly seem to get good reviews by people on here.
Other than that it's just a pity it's not alu

 

[BigonaBianchi]

well it is certainly a cool spec..v cool actually for the cash...but in the looks department..hmm..well it's not to my taste..but it's not about looks really I guess.

 

[HLaB]

Not curvy enough for my liking but the more significant factor will be how it feels!

Nice comments fellows

I have a scott from 6 years ago cr1 pro its lighter than any I looked at in the shops hence I was'nt fussed about buying a new bike but when this came I couldnt beleive they could get as light - We are all a bit weary when it comes to bikes new to the market but I did a lot of research and these have been used for over a year now since they were given to the BTWIN racing team I think the xtra £500 knocked off by decathlon almost sealed the deal but what this does do is send a message out to trek, scott, specialized giant cannondale et al to stop putting 105 groupsets on bikes and charging us £2000 ! Bikes like these and those like Cubes will take many sales away from the big boys I dont think they realise it yet but it will because for example, bike shops can get a scott specialised ect within a week but cant get hold of Cubes for love nor money.

I'll let you know how I get on tomorrow Im gonna take up some climbs and on the flat thats once I get used to the sram which is new to me

 

[Edge705]

Buy, strip, fit bits to the Planet X Ti Sportive, flog left overs. I like.

Hmm I did contemplate a different frame but as HLAB says it depends on the feel its one of thse it will take a bit of getting to like Notwithstanding the frame just goes to show it is possible to put decent components on a bike and make money

 

[400bhp]

I like it. Looks fantastic.

The wheels lokk awesone.

 

[oldfatfool]

I think the red pinstripe gives it weird lines that you either love or hate.

 

[YahudaMoon]

Mmm ! very nice

Needs some black bar tape and a compact chainset

Maybe a brooks saddle and a rack ?

I'll get my coat >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

[YahudaMoon]

Ain't them pedals banned ?

 

[jowwy]

Gotta be honest i think it looks damn good - full carbon, full sram red and a stunnin set of wheel's for 2k -
Thats awesome.
