Just saw an '08 Aloha in the post your tri bike thread. Looked great! The HED wheels didn't hurt either :).
Did some snooping and found that the Motobecane Nem is spec'd with much nicer components than the 08 Aloha. So what gives? I've heard the Nemisis and the Aloha are the same frame. Is the Motobecane just a much older model? If not, it seems one could get the same frame with a nice component set for less?

The Moto is an 04/05 ish Aloha frame. The Fuji's used to be spec'd with higher components too until this year. Not sure why the change and they couldn't give me an answer either. I knew I was swapping my parts to it, so it didn't matter to me.

Just wanted to say, GREAT job on the bike. It looks fast just standing still. How is the ride?
