Bikerex –
The Reid Vantage Comp 1.0 sure has a long list of positives for its impressive price tag. The braking, shifting, build quality, durability and general performance are exceptional for the money.
What can’t be corrected is whether this type of bike is right for you. An endurance-style bike best serves the majority of riders and the fact is that much of the population may find more riding comfort on another option. In this case, we suggest not to be swayed by the immense value on offer and go with what is going to give you the best riding experience. If that riding experience you seek happens to be one of performance and you have the flexibility to make the most of it, then the Reid is certainly going to reward you for more than a fair price.
Stu –
The Vantage is reasonably comfortable, a fact that can be attributed to a few canny choices design-wise. Firstly, the move to disc brakes means that there’s no bridge between the seat-stays, granting extra compliance to their already slender construction. The bike also comes stock with supple 25mm Continental tyres, mounted on a 21mm (internal) rim width, allowing lower pressures and a touch more cush. Further, the frame can accommodate up to 28mm tyres.
The dialled back colour scheme is certainly a head turner and whenever I pulled up at lights or stopped at my local cafe there were plenty of compliments towards the matte navy and grey paintwork. The pictures really don’t do this colour scheme justice – it is full of subtle panache, turning heads without being flashy.
One thing to note is the potential for toe overlap on this bike. Admittedly, I do have stupidly large canoes for feet (US size 13), but even on the large frame, I still found myself clipping the front wheel from time to time due to the tight front end. Granted, I have massive clown feet, but it’s something to be mindful of.
Overall this bike is full of well-thought-out details that you wouldn’t normally see at this price range – internal cabling, through-axles and a full carbon setup (including seat post) are all welcome additions to this bike and a neat demonstration of Reid’s evolution.
