Long crossbar on these, I found I had to go one size smaller than usual to compensate

Good bikes though

Okay value, not brilliant. Only real difference between this and other recent ~£350 bikes is the Sora groupset.
The jump from Claris to Sora isn't huge and I don't think it is worth an extra £100.

As for sizing, check the geometry charts. Don't just take someone's word that "this bike has a shorter top tube than other brands" etc.

I bought one of these a couple of years ago just for a play about road bike when i cannie be fussed getting the full suspension mtb out on the trails.
It may only have sora 9spd but it still changes ok and is not a bad handling bike, the only thing I've changed out is the rear cassette, chain and tyres.

Got to admit it's odd how a bike more expensive and with lesser spec gets hot but this didn't.... Like no one has a clue haha!!

This is a great price. I paid a similar amount for my Btwin 520 from Decathlon but this is better.

Shouldn't be allowed on the roads unless the rider can do a constant 25mph, sick to the back teeth of fair weather bloody cyclists

got this bike 2 years ago was more like 369£//done me well but just needed to replaced headset bearing and ballache hub removeable with 12mm alan key. . and slotted botttom bracket was seized in to but good bike bang for it buck

How does this compare to the Z85?
