Hi,

Coming back to cycling after many years out and thinking about buying a Lapierre s lite 300. Anybody got one and what do they think about it. Evans offering it for 1500 at the moment which is a great price for an Ultegra equipped carbon bike.

Thanks

Mike

    I asked a similar question a few days ago about the x-lite / xelium 700, but got no replies - Lapierre bikes are not very well known yet in the UK and not many people have them, but by all accounts they are high quality and from a long established French brand. My guess is that they are quite good value because the brand are still trying to establish their image.

    Looking at the specs of the s-lite it seems to be more of a "sportive" frame than the x-lite, with a slightly more upright, less stretched out position. Try to get a test ride, and if you haven't ridden recently also test ride some other bikes for comparison.

    Have seen the bike in my LBS. Very nice and as you say, great bang for your buck.

    I happen to have a Lappierre Mountain Bike and to be frank, if the road kit is the same, then you will get a great bike for your money. I really cant fault my Mountain Bike, which is the £2k Zesty 314.

    They have been making bikes for a long time too and certainly not a box shifter.
