I'm after a bike for around 600 with Tiagra shifters and gears.

I really should have bought one last year, as it looks like prices are going up due to the exchange rate. I was expecting a few bargains to come up, but due to stock shortages in 58/XL frames, the expected bargains are few and far between.

I'm still looking to buy used, but this caught my eye and looked good value, and I haven't seen much mention of them on here.

    Be One are Chain Reaction's own brand bikes I think. That doesn't looks bad at all. Most bikes around this price are going to be fairly standard all aluminium affairs, but that looks like it has fairly tidy welds on it. Carbon fork, full Tiagra, what's not to like.

    If you can hang on until end of August beginning of September you'll start seeing some pretty good discounts on 2009 bikes as that's generally when the 2010 ones will come out. Might get more for your money.

    I'm not sure if they are their own brand, looking on the web BeOne are a dutch company and chain reactions are the UK outlet.

    I think I am going to have to wait anyway as I go on hols on Wednesday and wanted to take the bike with me.
