    defo looks interesting, am in the market for something this spec at this value too. Brand dont seem to have a website bar on wiggle, does anybody have any experience with them?

    Would a medium be equivalent to a 17.5 etc?

    They're a huge German brand.

    As for sizes, look at the size charts, either on Wiggle or on the official site.

    the only focus i ever had was a road bike but spec wise, it couldnt be beat on price. turns out it didnt really suit me as well as my much cheaper allez.

    a spec sheet is all well and good and to be fair, its hard to build a bad bike when it is dripping with top notch kit but a good bike is more than the spec sheet.

    I bought a black forest 3 years ago, couldn't fault it - seemed spot on for the price.
    But like sheeps said, we're all different shapes and you might find it doesnt suit. However, when i got mine wiggle have a 7 day "testing" period where if you don't like it you could send it back for a full refund... you'll have to double check if this still applies though.
