Mainly because of its geometry, but also because I can get better for a little bit more money.
I can get a Reynolds 725 steel bike with better components (and lighter wheelset), from the USA for 500 quid (delivered), so that's better than the Plug, but I don't quite like the geometry of that US bike either.
Unfortunately, coming from the states, it's hard to compare prices, which is why it's so hard to find something to suit my budget and criteria.
I also would love to have a bike built (by a company) in the UK, that's the main reason I haven't just imported one yet.
