Beone Blizzard 2009

Lonzy

Hey all, first time here so go easy!

So I'm looking to buy my first proper road bike with a budget of 1000 quid (roughly) and the main problem is size - at 6"6 I need a 62 cm frame (or so I've been told by somone at Wiggle when I gave my measurements)

My current choice is the BeOne Bliizard 2009 but the problem is, it's got no press anywhere on the web - I can't find a single review anywhere?!

So what I'm asking, is if anybody here has one/ has used one/ knows a friend of a friend who once used one when he was drunk? I'm really looking for some kind of assurance that it is a good bike and not just a collection of nice specs!

Many thanks in advance

Don't have a Blizzard but earlier this year I bought a 2008 BeOne Storm & wouldn't hesitate to either buy another BeOne or from CRC again.

One thing with buying a bike by mail is you have to do some building & fettling yourself (or pay somebody to do it).

Hi i bought a 62cm Blizzard about a month ago,it was also my first road bike. i am no expert but i am very happy with the bike,it rides well and seems to be well made at 6"3 i find the frame size a slight stretch but the more i ride it the more comfortable it is becoming. Hope this helps.

Woah I was terrified when I saw someone had replied as I bought it about an hour ago... but great to hear that you approve of it! I'm 3 inches taller than you so it should be a good fit, thanks for the info.
