Hi again

I've come across what appears to be a disgusting amount of bike for £1550.

https://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/radon-vaillant-ultegra-583294?varid=583300

I need to spend a bit more time studying the measurements but the 54 they have in stock looks very close to my current Cube Agree GTC 56, which fits perfectly.

I could even Chuck a pair of Mavic Cosmic Pros in the basket and come away with what looks like a stunning aero road bike with full Ultegra and both race and training Mavic wheels for under £2300. This craps all over even Ribble as far as value goes.

Trouble is Radon are far from prolific over here and reviews are hard to come by. Anyone seen/ heard of/ ridden one or have any insight?

Many thanks.

Never heard of them but they do have some U.K. service partners. Maybe they sell the bikes too?

Personally I wouldn’t buy unless from a U.K. shop but each to their own :smile:

I'll have a look. I do see your point and it's a concern for sure. But then is it really any different to buying from Canyon, for example?

No but I wouldn’t buy from them either. Nor Rose. Can’t comment on the bike. It does nothing for me, not least it has Shimano gearing and a ‘plastic’ frame

Haha. Ive always used shimano so have no issue with that. To your mind though, what constitutes a plastic frame?
