Affordable address
Mantel replaced the stem that was too long compared to the superstore Arnhem. In the showroom I saw that my 10-day-old Trek was offered for €300 less than the internet offer. Quickly settled and got this amount back within a day and the internet offer was iddly adjusted.

Better bike for this money is hard to find
Fantastic bike! Despite being a performance model, it is still very comfortable, a good combination of performance and comfort. And so light
Pros & Cons

Stiff and strong frameset with unfortunately some downsides
In the grey version, the top tube is untreated and the carbon is visible. Unfortunately, the transition to the painted part is a bit ragged and the red decal on the top tube is very prone to damage. There is also a dark fibre running down the tube so it looks like there is a crack in the frame. In the blue version, everything is nicely painted along. So in hindsight, the blue would have been a better choice. The saddle was unfortunately too wide for me. The tyres run a bit heavy and I replaced them immediately. The new 105 front derailleur has a trim setting. Despite having only 2 front blades, this function is apparently necessary. However, the front derailleur kept catching on, but now functions well after 2 adjustments by the Mantel mechanic. Service from Mantel is top notch! With my old Ultegra, switching gears with the front derailleur was a bit easier.... But what a great frame! Rides great! Am all in all very satisfied with my new racing machine.... The lifetime warranty on the frame is also a plus.
