In black with red detail, the Vertigo Richmond is a sleek road bike with a strong 18-inch alloy frame and 700c wheels. Its Shimano 14-speed Drivetrain makes climbing easier whilst still allowing you to pick up speed on the flat. A straight bladed, alloy fork and soft shock absorbing bar tape gives the Richmond bike extra durability and offers a smooth, comfortable ride. Front and rear caliper brakes give you optimum stopping power, even in wet and rainy conditions.
Built-in cable adjusters and a quick release seat and wheels allow for easy, on-the-fly, adjustment and maintenance. The Vertigo Richmond’s ergonomic road saddle allow for comfortable and prolonged usage, making it an ideal road bike.

I'm not knocking it...it's a cheap bike and I voted hot..but the bike geeks normally moan about anything cheap and heavy, just though it odd they hadn't piped up on this one.
Personally I don't think this is a great bike...just a cheap bike with an over inflated RRP to give the impression it's a huge bargain.

yeah, my pedals cost more than this too, and I'd say that makes this a serious bargain. Not gonna beat any club records on it, but great for starting to commute, and if the bug bites, invest later :smile:

These are cheap for what they are, and probably as good as a £200 road bike, but that isn't really saying a lot. If the 14.9kg weight is correct (I can't believe it is that heavy) then that is VERY heavy. I can get the point of cheap hybrid or mountain bikes for short commutes, but can't really see the point of a rubbish road bike, you aren't going to want to go very far on this.
