Well you're certainly not going to forget the brand on a bike like this... Bet they charge you extra for all the stickers.

Actually the don't charge extra, more the opposite...

Brands also selling the XDS Carbon-Tech manufactured TT-frameset X-B14:

Planet-X
Stevens Bikes
Fondriest
Louis Garneau
CSK
Dynatek
Pedal Force
Element 6 Bikes
Velo Vie

Most probably quite a few more but it gives you an idea...

If you contact Karbona direct they will sell you the frameset including seatpost for ~US$680 plus postage (~US$800 incl. postage to Australia) :D

Same goes with their wheels etc.

Dalai you have about half of those bikes mixed up. None the less, a good portion of the tri bikes out right now do come from 2 molds.

My understanding was that they were all XDS Carbon-Tech manufactured TT-frameset X-B14...

I know there is the different Axman frame used by quite a few but is discerable by internal cabling.

Brands using the Axman frame:

Azzurri
X-Lab
Beyond
Onyxx
Basso
COLUMBUS CRONO
