They reckon that the bike is only for people whose height is 150-170 cm!!! (That is clearly wrong, and would lose them a lot of potential customers.)The Polygon Urbano 5 is the same bike with a different paint job, mechanically identical, might be available in NZ.
The steerer is telescopic and the bars go down a little bit more than those 2 pics. It's got about 40mm total adjustment. Mine has the seat about 50mm higher than the bars but I think the problem is really that the short reach means you're going to be fairly sit up and beg regardless of seat position.Does the seatpost on the Carrera go higher?
I'd be wanting the bike to be a bit more dropped aero. Looks a bit too sit up and beg from the pics.

That seems testament enough! My opinion (for what it's worth) is that care needs to be taken over what lubrication to use - If the bearings are plain ones of a PTFE material then they may be damaged by a mineral grease, and a silicone or ptfe type oil may be a better choice. To be clear are your pedals "Litepro"?
There is an unused one on eBay, £220 (or perhaps Best Offer under that), collection from Worthing.I'm gonna look for a used 8 speed version - the one with mechanical disks.
I can just-about cope with taking it on a one-way trip to NZ.
