anyone out there taken the plunge and bought Wiggle's new Kiron Scandium?

Looks like a great bike for the dosh and wondered how owner(s) have found it.

    Edinburgh Bike Coop do a very similar Scandium bike for the same price, bur with Ultegra Groupset and Easton bars etc.

    I don't think they do it any more though. I looked at it earlier in the summer when they had one left in stock, they told me they wouldn't be getting any more.

    Like a streak of lightnin' flashin' cross the sky,
    Like the swiftest arrow whizzin' from a bow,
    Like a mighty cannonball he seems to fly.
    You'll hear about him ever'where you go.

    Looks like this will be the bike under a grand for 2009...best bang for your buck...with everyone else putting their prices up.

    Wonder why they didn't just label it the Easton instead of Kirion?!

    Although I don't think it looks like a grand bike - fairly low rent paintjob?!

    wow, that is a good review....

    was thinking that the Kiron would either be a hero or a zero...

    better start saving then.

    I have a the Kiron, purchased a month ago and I'm mightily impressed with it :D
    Changed the bars as they were to narrow for me but other than that it's a fine piece of kit for the money.
