I was looking for my first race bike and this one was available at the time (back in May 2021). I've now driven over 1,500km with it and I am very happy. I did change a few things (new Campagnolo Zonda wheel set, new handle bar tape because the original one was a bit fragile and ripped at some places, clic pedals...). I had some issues with the front rim (wasn't as smooth as should be and burst the tyre several times). But Mantel customer service dealt with it extremelly well so no issue there. All in all, at this price, this is an excellent race bike that should definately be considered for a first race bike. I don't regret paying a little extra than other entry level bikes!

Enorm blij met mijn eerste racefiets en het mooie turquoise detail! In Den Bosch heel vriendelijk geholpen door de medewerkers bij het afstellen van de fiets die uitgebreid de tijd voor mij namen. De fietsmaat valt alleen wat klein uit, ik heb framemaat 53 en ben 1.65 m. Framemaat 50 was echt te klein voor mij.
