I actually had one of these come through my shop the other day for repair. Not a bad looking frame. I have seen much cleaner carbon frames, and much lighter. Good component spec for the money I am sure. I guess it just comes down to what the warranty is like and what Supergo will do in the event of a problem with the bike. With your local shop you know they will always make things right.

I am sure the warranty may be an issue. So if you are looking for great service and warranty, do ask many many questions.

It is pretty nice frame. Do take note they do not use the real nice high end carbon rear end. That is why somepeole notice it is heavier than other similar frames.

I built up an Ultegra bike based on the Columbus Aluminum/Carbon rear stay frame from 2002. Its a reasonably fast, well mannered bike but the frame has excessive flexing characteristics when under the hammer. If you want a good bargain for the money in an everyday bike, this is a great frameset. If you're serious about speed find something less flexy.

they are selling these for $1499....the ultegra kits alone are worth $900 of that bike, so .....i've thought more than once about it myself.....
