My LBS is getting one of these in with Veloce groupset for £1500.
I'm in the market for a new bike and wondered if anyone has one or knows anything about this model as can only find 1 picture of it but no info or reviews. Or any thoughts of better alternatives but NOT going over £1500
Thanks

  • Hi Viner UK here, this frame is a limited edition version of the Gladius frame, with a special paint finish. You can see the Gladius test on Bike Radar.
    Out of interest who is your LBS?

    I have been very happy with my Gladius frame. However, £1,500 with Veloce - ouch! I know prices have crept up with the weaker £ etc, but I paid under a grand with Centaur 18 months ago...

    @ Matt, where did you get yours from?

    Halfords! Limited edition Gladius, was an absolute steal (even more so with around 40% off on bike to work scheme). I see the Simplex frame and fork retails for around £950 now (although looks like it has an all carbon fork which is an upgrade).

    I doubt Halfords have any left but might be worth checking with them - there was a size XL hanging around in Balham until recently.
