Ex Display Bikes.
These bikes are all brand-new, they may have done a some miles outside the showroom, but nothing more intense. The tyres may be a bit dusty, you might find some finger prints and light marks where customers have fondled them in the showroom, at worst some very light cosmetic marks. All bikes have been fully health checked by our experienced mechanics and are ready to ride. This bike has a tiny chip on the fork and some other small marks on the down tube. The rear skewer also has some scratches from the turbo trainer. See photos for details.
All bikes have been full checked over by our cytech qualified mechanics and are ready to ride.We only have one of these for sale, available today, same day dispatch. All clearance items are sold as seen. If you have any questions, give our team a call on: +44 (0)1709 38 66 63

Sizing Guide
The main features of the Exocet geometry are a short head tube, short top tube and relatively steep seat angle. This geometry is designed primarily to offer great handling, comfort and great aerodynamics when riding on the tri bars.
A well fitting triathlon or time trial bike will typically have a shorter top tube than a road bike for the same rider which draws in the elbows towards the torso to create better aerodynamics and increase comfort.
| Rider Height | Suggested Frame Size |
|---|---|
| 5′4″ to 5′9″ | Small |
| 5′9″ to 6′0″ | Medium |
| 6′0″ to 6′3″ | Large |
Sizing Notes
All frame size recommendations are approximate. A good fit will also depend on the correct choice of stem length, correct bike set-up for the rider and riding style.
Correct frame size choice can vary greatly with riders torso length. If you have longer legs and a shorter torso, go for a slightly shorter stem. If you think you are borderline between sizes and you have longer legs and a shorter torso, go for the smaller frame size. If you have shorter legs and a longer torso, go for the larger frame size to benefit from the extra top tube length.
As the frame sizes increase, so does the length of the head tube. If you are inflexible or perhaps have a history of back problems, consider going for a larger frame size. This will increase the relative height of the handlebars making the position less “extreme”. The larger frame will also have a longer top tube, so you’ll need to compensate for this with a shorter stem.
