    Depending on your size you may be able to pick up an Enigma Esprit frame for £799 in their clearance sale

    Just ordered a new Mistral. Apart from the seat stays there isnt much difference between the Mistral and Euros and from what i can see on the net the Mistral gets better reviews that the Euros. The Zephr looks like a really nice bike if you can afford one. Ordered a custom build from Fat Birds 3 weeks ago but still waiting unfortunantley so i cant give a detailed review.

    All i know is that i cant wait for it to arrive.

    There are quite a few 55 Enigma bikes in those sales - by all accounts stunning bikes. That being said i went for the Planet X ti Sportive - should have it finished by Monday/Tuesday can't wait
