Oh yes @Specialeyes. Most definitely.Is that right, @Darius_Jedburgh ? I know their web presence is so bad you'd be forgiven for thinking they'd gone bust, but have they actually? I've got a Kiral and a Kryon and, while I've never worried about pranging them before, I shall now be paranoid
And to the OP, £850 seems like a lot for a bike that's about 8 years old? (Unless you're in Guernsey, but that's another story!)
Importer was/is just up the road from me. Kuota finished maybe 12 months ago. Main factory shut down. Goodnight Vienna.
I have a Kobalt as winter bike. I've tried everywhere to get a mech hanger - just in case - but they don't exist. Some other models are available, but my advice to you is to get some now if you can find some. Sooner or later there will be none available, and that will mean a bike write off.
Importer now deals with Moda bikes. I had a look at one yesterday. A bit on the heavy side, and lacking in finesse. Not quite agricultural but getting on that way. Think I'd have to be desperate to buy one.
