I ordered this bike for my brother Mark-TC2 because he's joined the mouseketeers and needed some proper wheels.

It came in the biggest box

All it needed was the bars and peddles put on, they even pumped the tyres

Wiggle have a 7 seven day try and return policy, however tc2 hurt his calf and was on crutches for 2 weeks so couldn't test ride the bike.
So i went out on it and was blasting up along beside the Thames at 30mph, the wheels are slightly heavier than what i'm used to but once up to speed they spin quite freely. I'm really impressed.

Well he picked it up 3 weeks ago in the rain

(he's even commuting on it:angry:)
we rode the FNRTTC Southend and back to London no problems except for lack of sleep.

It's got a small head tube but the've added spacers below the stem to raise the bars

No issues, no need for him to upgrade at the moment. Next summer i'd put some PR3s' to get the most out of it.
It's a very good bike.
