Frame will be very very good, really light, and some good low gears.
940g frame apparently as it's had extra layers of carbon, nice fork too. I've not ridden them but they seem to have a very good reputation
Still, at £300 for a 105 group, £175 for wheels/tyres (All from Merlin +3% discounted cashback through topcashback
) and about another £120 (being generous) for the finishing kit (Saddle/post/bars/tape & stem) that's £800 for frame & forks plus they charge almost £30 for postage.
