I'm considering buying a new road frame to put my existing bits on to for use over summer. Currently riding a cyclocross bike which is fine for winter, but its not quite as quick/stiff as a proper roadie.

Seen this for £199

Anyone got one? What do you think?

I used to have an SL Carbon which was a good bike, I could jsut buy one of them again. But these are cheaper and a bit different and they are a nice colour.

    Nice. I bought one recently. Can't fault it at all and the blue colour is really quite fetching!
    More problems but still living....

    Whats the ride like? Stiff I imagine (or at least stiffer than the SL carbon)

    Is yours the frame/fork combo? What are the forks like? Considering just buying the frame and getting some decent forks 2nd hand.
