I quite liked the Btwin bike that was posted here couple of days ago, but its not available in my size. So i started looking for alternatvie within a resonable price range. I think this comes very close to it. And they have all the sizes.

Shimano cassette 11-32T
Felt SuperLite Road VariableShape handlebar
Felt VariableAngle stem

Boxed Bike, will need to be assembled by a competent mechanic.

Voted hot for two reasons
1) it's a cracking price for the spec
2) to counterbalance the dozens of mobile phones on the HUKD timeline, as it seems to be overtaking the main page. We need more posts on items to improve our health, not to help us become couch potatoes

Sorry it was a little over 10kg when I started, I kept a record for future references lol:
FSA Tempo chainset & square BB -> Shimano 105 5800 chainset &BB -550g
Felt Wheels -> Fulcrum Racing Quattros -300g
Vittoria Zaffiro Tyres -> Vittoria Rubino pro -250g
Sunrace Cassette -> Tiagra Cassette -50g
Felt Brakes -> Shimano 105 5800 -100g
Felt Seatpost -> Chinese carbon post -100g
Felt Innertubes -> Continental tubes -130g
Felt Saddle -> Madison Prime Saddle -80g
& a few other bits not worth mentioning, but round about 1.6kg total weight shedding...
Hope that helps :confused:

what is it with road bikers being proud of using a small cassette range? I have been road cycling now for 3 years and see no issue with using a 11-32 cassette. Although in the summer I am relatively fit (did Ride Lndon 100 this year) my right knee won't allow me to put much power through it so I need to spin up hills so would happily stay with an 11-32 cassette. I have a 12-30 now.

Outstanding deal this, if anyone can put a better road bike up against this for £500 I'll eat my own feet.

£499 for a Tiagra 4700 (which is basically last gen 105) and its a Felt, awesome price.

Nothing wrong with this and a good looking bike too

Hmm, tempting but feel like I should wait on my cycle to work scheme in April...I just can't get excited about Evans range which I'm limited to.

If you're a higher rate tax payer, then, yes, wait!

Excellent entry into road cycling, you will not find a main brand, fully 2016 tiagra equipped (apart from brakes) ready built, in every size available, at this price anywhere else. Sensible cassette range too for beginners
If you are thinking of getting into road cycling this coming year, and have a budget of around £500, this is the bike you need

fantasic deal - almost tempted just to get the 4700 groupset then sell it with my old tiagra 10 speed - buying groupsets on their own costs so much....

Looks like good value but realise it does need to be fully assembled

Twist and tighten the handlebars, and fix the pedals, you'll find that with any mail order bike
