Roux bikes

Has anyone come across Roux bikes? They're a small UK brand apparently, and they own one of my local LBSs. Popped in today and they showed be one of these, which they could do for £1000 on C2W.

Does anyone have any experience with Roux?

Is that a resounding 'never heard of them'?!

First impressions is that it looks like a Scott bike.
It's not bad for the price. Mix of 105 and FSA but you can probably find better specced bikes out there.

So, if you like it, then ask to have a test ride.

Have you tried the search function? I recall someone posting recently about having one of the hub geared models

I did yesterday and it came up with nothing -- not even a recipe for cheese sauce. Just tried again and there's a few threads for me to look through. I guess it was broken when I tried before.

Cool
As above, if you like it, go ride it. Looks like a good buy for a grand from a local shop rather than online
