The ride quality is fine, although the MTB is better due to wider/lower pressure tyres (it runs on City Jets). It's more the drivetrain that feels worse generally on the road bike, which i just put down to being a lower grade than the already low grade Altus. Toni's Merida is new and has the current Altus, which is again a step up from both of my bikes. To be expected, I suppose, as it's probably done about 500 miles from new in the couple of months she's owned it. That said, I did try an experiment before our ride today in that I lubed the chain with Scott Oil (as used on one of my motor cycles) rather than the dry lube I've been using. It was definitely better.

Just to close the thread off. Went to see the bike this morning. Fits like a comfortable glove, so deal done and it’s mine. Thanks for the thoughts. You were all pretty much spot on. It feels very different to the Carrera in a very good way.
