It's good at the price - a 9kg Aluminium bike (with a few carbon bits) with 105 for Β£600 is stock clearance pricing.

The only problem I can see is that there are none in my size (54cm)

Hoping there will be 58s left on Saturday! Only question is black or blue? I'm 90% settled on blue :-)

Only thing slightly off for me is the gearing, could easily be supplemented with a hill climbing cassette, then it's sorted; 25 lowest is OK for undulating, you can can switch over if heading into the steep stuff.

Go for the black as the white bar tape will be filthy inside a month.

I'm 175cm, 5'9" with longish legs shortish body, I find a 54cm top tube more comfortable than a 56cm. For info a Triban 54cm has a 54cm virtual top tube length 57cm 56cm 60cm 58cm as they are measured from crank centre up the seat tube to virtual top tube.

That would probably be right. 56cm may work if you were longer in the body than the leg! Just a thought. :-)

I agree I am between sizes, I have bought frames that are 56cm when cheap and they're ok with a slightly shorter stem but 54cm is preferable for me.
