I've never heard of BH and can't find any reviews.  This bike has come up on eBay and I'd just like your views.

Thanks

The build kit doesn't really match a carbon frame, nothing wrong with deore but a little uninspiring, and suntour forks are a pile of crap.

BH is a sub-brand of the Spanish group Orbea that is intended for the value-for-money market segment (or that's what the owner told me). They are just that, OK bikes at sensible prices. At £350 it's a bargain, at £650 nothing special. I've never tried a carbon one but the alu equivalent rode fine, even the fork felt OK.

That's not the understanding of BH that I have.

BH is one of Spains largest bike manufacturers, not a suusiduary of Orbea. They have gained such expertise in carbon tubing that they now manufacture suspension arms for several  F1 racing teams and top-end Merceded Benz sports cars.

They produce various levels of bicycle culminating in the BH Global Concept. This is a monocoque carbon fibre frame. The complete Global Concept Dura Ace retails at 5000 euros.  They're quality kit and the frame was used by the AG2R del Mondiale team in the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France.

I have a Global Concept G3 Dura Ace and love it. It's a sub 15 lbs road rocket. The frame is a work of art.
