Cracking bikes for the money (though some of them use BB30 bottom brackets which I'd avoid if possible).

I've currently got two. An aluminium Zenium SL which I raced last season (first time trying racing) and a recently purchased carbon Vitesse Evo which I bought with 30% off as the 2017 bikes were coming out. Brilliant bikes for the money - love both mine. Save £100's compared to the main brands like Specialized. I got the Vitesse for £1300 minus a further £130 for being a member of British Cycling. Full Ultegra groupset and a UCI approved frameset identical as to what the Pro team ride.

The 2017 vitesse evo team with dura ace looks good value at 2100 on sale at wiggle right now , frame I guess is same as yours ?

Yeah, they use the same frame for all the evo bikes. Hard to fault it. Light stiff and good value. Not so race orientated that it can't be used for sportives etc. I've done over 100 miles in a day on mine and felt alright after it.

I've had one of their mountain bikes for the last few years and have been impressed with it, especially considering the price.
