    Final verdict on this bike, this bike for the price it is currently at of $4800 usd, is the best value for money on a bike I have ever seen being sold as new. The group set and the handlebar literally cost that price alone and to throw in a frame that is extremely underrated, it would be hard bike to not buy if this was your budget. At the end of the day, if I spent $4800 for this bike to keep for a long time i would be extremely happy with the outcome of the purchase, and it also gives you a nice build kit for future bikes to come

    Seems like a crazy good deal/value considering it's full dura ace. If you spent another $1000 on something like some Winspace wheels, you'd have a super solid build overall.

    Greetings from Indonesia, where Polygons are made. They have a super hi-tech factory here and make some terrific budget models too. Almost unbeatable value bikes if you're in Asia and they sell a lot by mail order to Australia.. The alloy frames that they make are state-of-the-art hydroformed and look like carbon frames with their huge tubes.

    can you get your hands on a CUBE Agree C62 SLT? Probably not, but: 5700€ before any deals, full Dura Ace, nice carbon wheel set. Officially it is their endurance model, but has some aero shapes too.

  • @kerrysweathershorts5055
    @kerrysweathershorts5055 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think the Hunt 54s I have on my current bike would be a great upgrade for this. Something like this is so tempting for my next bike. I'm not a pro so I don't need the other fancy stuff that make other bikes 3x as much.

    • @GCPerformance18
      @GCPerformance18  ปีที่แล้ว

      for sure, this bike is amazing and the price of it is just a plus, but honestly the wheels as is are not bad, yes they are heavy but for aero reasons they work so good

  • @DaveCM
    @DaveCM ปีที่แล้ว +8

    The only bad thing about them is that the largest size they come in is a 56. I have to have a 58.

    Grant - how tall are you / inseam? I think a large would fit me as well, but the sizing listed on their website seems to suggest an XL for me, I am 6' 2" and I think the large would be my size judging over the standover height.

    • @GCPerformance18
