I entered the comp to win one, I think they gave away 3 of them.

I think they cost around £920?

I think they look good and the price isn't unreasonable.

THE most aerodynamic aluminium bike......................................................until it gets a rider on it, then depending on the size and weight of the rider it is just about as aerodynamic as any other alloy bike.

Ah sorry I joined literally with mins to spare.

I keep getting offers for another that expires on the 16th Oct, but if I click the link it says promotion has expired, if they do another I will post it here.

They have another one out now, and it is dirty dirty:

They didn't run a comp to win one of these! I will keep my eyes peeled and post it here if that changes.

Another thing that gets me in the site constantly reverts to Chinese. That's fine, but mildly annoying when you are considered a product and the language flips.

Probably as the company is based in Taiwan.

I appreciate that, and I also appreciate they make bikes predominantly and not multilingual sites. It was just so unpredictable last time I visited.

tbh it's a nice looking bike, but I would never buy something I can't sit on and test beforehand.

Just a wee update. Not about the bike though.

I'm having a go with the speedx speedforce stem. It is pretty heavy at about 430g. It's not a huge advantage over a cluttered bar really. I personally don't really care about the weight, but I hope it's fairly robust. I can see ribbon cables on the inside...
Manuals are Chinese first, English second, which makes perfect sense for reasons discussed before. So I presume their site is now slightly more domestically targeted than it may have been after the initial fundraising.
Hoping to log a decent run on it during paternity leave so may add to this.
