So I started a thread yesterday regarding buying an aero road bike:


https://forum.slowtwitch.com/...ike_advice_P7164729/


I’ve got the opportunity to buy a 2nd hand Ceepo Mamba aero road bike. The frame is as new(not a mark on it), the wheels are new (semi-aero), Shimano 105 groupset. The bike is going really cheap locally. I test rode it earlier today, very nice bike, quirky looking frame!


It’s going for an absolute steal in my opinion, the only trouble is it’s a size smaller than I would normally use, but I had no trouble with saddle height and reach, so all good there.


My questions:


Anyone have any experience with these bikes? There are a few reviews about, all good. But I don’t know a lot about them.


And secondly, would the smaller size prove to be an issue? I’ll use it mainly for road riding, training, not racing. But did think that with the reversible seatpost I could add clip-on aero bars and do the odd duathlon maybe.


Thanks for any advice.
