As a replacement for a defective frame, I have the opportunity to pick up a Viner compact frame. There is very little written about them (as far as reviews). Does anyone have any experience or even second hand knowledge of: a) lightness b) stiffness c) durability?

I do not have any experience w/ the new Viner frames but I can say they are an awesome company!. My dad still rides his 1983 steel Viner. I can say it that stood the test of time and that you would probably be the only one on your block w/ that frame.
