    Hi Guys,

    I know ive annoyed a lot of ye regulars with a few questions but im getting close to buying now - i swear (and the help was great to date)
    Do you have any opinion on the BH Spedstrom 7.6? I think this looks quite good and is within my budget so if i dont get any horror stories I think you might see me out on the roads soon.....

    Thanks (again) inadvance

    Bit of a mixed bag of components.

    It's sold as "BH Bikes Speedrom 7.6 Double 105 Road Bike", but it doesn't even have 105 shifters. The first decent Google hit I got off "Microshift vs Shimano" described them as "a knockoff of ancient Shimano components".

    Wheels look a bit paired spoke-ish to me.

    I haven't ridden this bike, and claim no particular expertise in componentry, but it wouldn't be my first choice at around €1000, since you asked. :)

    Seems like way to much of a mixed bag for me you could spend your money alot better i think.

    i was looking at the Velon a few months back, a friend of my missus cycles fairly competitivly here in Ireland, he told me to steer clear,

    i took his advice

    whether it was right or wrong, i dont know, but i listen to people with more expereince than me
