I'm thinking of getting one for my commute so any chance of a quick review of the Tifosi CK7.
Which groupset did you go for the Shimano Sora triple or Campag Veloce ? It hard to see from the pic in your sig as it's round the wrong way :
Also is that a ghost in the window of that pic. :shock:
If anyone also has this bike your views would great.

Yes, yes there is, it's the ghost of Christmas yet to come. She hangs out at my house checking out my bikes.
It's nice, I like it a great deal, came with mudguards as standard, also has eyelets etc. for a pannier rack.
Carbon fork, for what it's worth, pretty light, but solidly built. Long head tube means it's good for someone like me with a short torso, comfortable relaxed position.
It seems pretty solid, would withstand knocks etc...
I went for Campag... more expensive but I prefer the shifters, and for some reason I decided a compact would do...0 -

Thanks for that. Someone had ordered one at a localish bs and it looked a nice bike and a ideal commuter.
I'm also thinking of going the Compag route but there're asking about £950 for it though. Is that about what you paid?
The only other thing is, what size are the tryes?0 -

I think I got it for £899 - from www.fatbirds.co.uk after wiggle let me down. Very nice people - they pretty much built it for me then sent it next day delivery for free which was nice too!0 -

Obviously I have no idea what size you are
But Chain Reactions have an old model in XS (46.5cms) for £487

Reading the spec the chain reaction one I think will be blue not as the picture. The CK7 doesn't appear in the grey until the 1 1/8 frames came in last year. Check if buying. I could be mistaken but I don't think so.Neil

It is definitely the blue, as per Wooliferkins' one. I rang them to see if they had it in a small, the size I needed, and they didn't, nor did they have the colour scheme they show.0 -
is this your down under bike LIT?0

Scroll down to Tifosi here this is Fridays stock. Unless you read this later than Sunday of course. Where did I park the DeLorean?Neil

I've just recently taken delivery of one of these from Echelon in Pershore. £930 with Mavic Open Pro wheels and Shimano 105. Cracking bike to ride. I ordered the grey and had a fair old wait (ordered November delivered February) but worth it. Good quality finish and touch wood seems more resiliant to chips than the blue (which a colleague has).0

Dunno
Just came across it while window shopping for bikes I don't need & can't afford. They do have a couple of different models listed, possibly customer returns
I do bow Wooliferkins greater knowledge.
He does have a bike shop to promote after all“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0
