    It's alright. Looks nice.

    You do know it's pre-order? You might get more for your money looking at reduced 2012 bikes, if '£775' is your budget.

    You might also get some better answers if you give more details on what sort of bike you want and what it is to be used for and where.

    my budget is £1000 but i need to buy everything else as well as my stuff is getting old and it doesn't matter if it is pre order because the cycle to work scheme is around April time. I will be using it mainly at trail centres.

    is your cycle scheme with chain reaction? if its not through chain reactions ride 2 work scheme or whatever crc call it then you wont be able to get any bike from chain reaction and will have to look elsewhere.

    They tested the Zircon 1 in MBUK a few months ago, and it lost to a much cheaper Halfords special
