Bought one of these 2 weeks ago and thought I would put my review up .
Good points tried a giant defy 1 and the handling on this bike is better in M H O and on average a £100 cheaper ,the set up at merlin was superb ,only had to straighten the bars ,gears and brakes smooth and good stopping power
The frame is stiff and responsive and handling Is great .Carbon fork is a bonus the paint and decals are spot on ,welding is a bit crude but hey ho it's a £300 bike and mavic cxp 22 rims ,these on the boardmans not the lightest rims but seem tough enough
Bad points saddle not great swapped for a selle Italia turbo ,and tyres not to good but swapped for gator skins.
All in all a great bike for a first time roadie or a winter hack would highly recommend it
