New to bikes admittedly but this seems too good to be true.

What am I missing? This seems to be a full Carbon with SRAM red for £800? IS it a truly awful bike or a mistake on the Evans website (which seems relatively common)

    Yup; it's a mistake. £799 is the price of the Shimano Tiagra-equipped model; the SRAM Red (Z3R) should be 4-5x that price. The picture is correct- see Wiggle/Tredz etc.
    Order it and see if you get lucky?

    I bought a bike that was incorrectly listed from Evans about 4 years ago. What turned up was a frame not a complete bike. Evans were great and did me an amazing deal on a different bike meaning I got a £500 discount for their mistake!

    Even with Tiagra that seems really cheap for full carbon though

    It's also listed as coming with the hydraulic brakes which have been recalled I think?
    Red bikes are the fastest.

    Its an Alu frame - carbon is another listing error.
