The reviewer discusses the Sava A7L Pro bike as the winner of the 'best value award'. They purchased it with their own money a few months prior and praise its specifications for the price. They detail the delivery process, which resulted in some shipping damage, and their positive experience with Sava's customer service in resolving the issue. They also mention using the Elite Wheels ENT 2.0 carbon wheels on this bike as a favorite upgrade.
