It's a Wiggle own brand (now); I've a R4.0. More details here: http://road.cc/content/tech-news/16...tway-2016-road-bike-range-priced-between-£950

On paper looks a bargain, it's just that can't find any reviews even on their website. Wonder if they would knock a bit of the price so I could be the first to write one haha

Quite fancy the Di2 at that price or should I go with plant X or ribble

Buy through quidco for a few percent back

However, I wouldn't personally spend 2k on a bike with no reviews and no test ride

Ive just bought a Koga Solicio for £1400 at my lbs. It was an end of season clearance. Its full Carbon, full Ultegra and Di2.

I have 2 other Koga bikes and know what excellent quality they are.

You are paying a lot more for the same spec but little known brand. I would shop around some of the bike shops in your area. Its a great time to pick up a bargain. I think you could find what you want but for a lot cheaper.

Didn't think it would be that hard to blow 2 grand haha

 

[vickster]

It's not. Why not see what your local bike shops can offer?

You see a few Eastways around Heathrow because people buying them from the cycle hub shop via the ctw scheme.

I think they're a bit of a 'budget brand' hence the low price for a Di2 bike...

Do Edinburgh Cycle Co-op sell them as well?

Wiggle have bought them out and only sold through them now, think this is the first year they have had full control of what spec the brand has. Suppose I can leave it a while and see what happens, and plod on with my giant for a bit longer.
