Anyone got any comments on this bike?
Evans have got the Topstone 1 AL at £1400 (+20 Delivery!) rather than £2000 (delivery end of oct).
Presumably too much stock at the end of the season and a new bike coming out, but could it be some other flaw?
I know the geometry is a little different to many bikes, and its low geared (30-46!).
Goals: Winter road bike, perhaps some 'light' cyclocross, some bike touring, light gravel duties.
I'd want to fit 28-32mm road tyres for road work and maybe a 2nd set of wheels for (e.g DT Swiss P or E1800...) and mudguards for winter.
The spec is generally high apart from that crankset. GRX 800/600 (400calipers)
How is the handling? I'm used to my Canyon ultimate (summer) and a vitus Zenium (winter), both of which are quite sharp. The zenium is just a bit limited on the tyre width for off-road (max 28mm at front!).
Would you buy this or order a Ribble CGR or buy something else? (e.g. Giant Content AR1 or Revolt / Dolan GXA)
