Eastway R2.0 Carbon 105

[Kevoffthetee]

Does anyone have feedback on Castaway bikes? Wiggle are doing the R2.0 carbon with full 105 and Mavic Aksiums for £800 and I'm very tempted. I am also looking at the cannonade Caad8 105 and the felt Z75 Disc but this could be interesting?

I've just built up an Eastway R4.0 from the frameset. Seems OK if a little heavy.

However, I don't know who owns Eastway now, possibly Wiggle.

claims of 8kg for the 105 equipped Rr2.0 which is quite a claim. I'm just unsure of the orange strip down the from, although the felt is black and yellow and the cannonade is all green so I'm not finding any discreet colour schemes at the minute

8kg isn't bad. Seems a good price for a 5800 105 bike.
never ridden one or know anyone who has one though.

Not bad at all, many bikes at that price come with Tiagra.

the felt is black and yellow

And don't forget the blue on the chainstays.

I've been looking at the Felt myself, but am also tempted by the Planet X RT-58 Rival 22. I regret not getting the RT-58 when it was at £499, but if they decide to have another sale on it I'll jump.

I must admit I know sod all about Eastway Bikes, but this caught my eye

and it started a N+1 itch, it seems like it might be a bargain.
