    Bought the 2022 version from the same supplier last autumn when it was on sale. Use it more as a winter road bike. By the look of the specs above they haven’t changed anything with this years model.

    It arrived perfectly setup. Took it out on a test run after Installing peddles and adjusted seat high. Didn’t have to adjust anything.when I got back. Can say the same for all my other previous mail order bike purchases.

    I would agree with previous comments, breaks are more than adequate for normal road and mild gravel paths. I’ve had one slight squeaky bum moment on this bike when having to break really hard due to another road users unanticipated manoeuvrings. In that extreme situation the breaks did seem a little lacking compared to my MTB’s hydraulic breaks. Though thinking about it, I supposed I’d have probably ended up summersaulting over the handle bars if I was riding my MTB..

    All in all, pleased with my purchase.

    Now the question we all want to ask... Have you done a wheelie on it yet?

    Decent enough price, but depending on your intended use, be mindful the brakes are mechanical not hydraulic - the latter would be my preference if you intended using this off road on true gravel tracks. If just as a commute or occasional use, less of an issue

    Yup. It's almost a non-issue for most road cycling. I think (and I'm not accusing you of this at all) there's a lot of snobbery in the cycling world (particularly road cycling) that only the latest and greatest is good enough. Considering even mechanical discs are better than rim brakes, and rim brakes were being used in the pro peloton until quite recently, these will be fine for almost all road cycling.

    The geometry table is chopped off so you can't see the reach for each size, which makes it hard to gauge the sizing.

    Its an OK bike considering the low price. But no attempts have been made to equip it with adequate gearing for off road use.
    It will work well as commuter or c-grade road machine. But don't expect to be going up steep inclines off road on it unless you have pro-level legs.

    Well 34/32 should be more than ok for decent gradients, obviously not 25% MTB ramps.
