Hi guys, I have seen a couple bikes that seem to have a great spec for a cheap price, are they too good to be true, have people heard anything about the brands?

    BeOne are OK. Dutch I think. I've got one of their carbon forks and it's quite decent.

    I have a Sensa Romagna, now my winter bike. The Sensa bikes tend to get fairly good reviews, specifically around value for money. No complaints with regards to mine, other than rubbish bar and rim tape which can be easily changed.

    I've had a BeOne storm about seven years and am very happy with it. It's not 'super' kit eg 9 speed Tiagra & Alexrims but it's still going strong.
    There is no secret ingredient...

    BeOne frames are very good but the company went bankrupt last year so you will not get a warantee. It does mean there are some bargains about.

    There may be some kind of warranty from the shop - worth checking with them too.
