Totally. I think they've nailed it. Plain black too. So many cheapo bikes have gash colour schemes. If I had to buy new for a long commute I think it would be near the top of my list.
Saw one in the flesh today, the old triban it replaced locked not that far away, much prefer the new frame, the shape looks better and the tyre clearance is win
Not sure about the front no, but the back have a surprisingly amount of clearance.
Not only it got long drop caliper, but the shoes sit right at the bottom (B'Twin's own brand have same amount of drop);
It is an excellent bike for the money.
