I have been looking at buying a triathlon frame from Pride Cycles, but I cannot find anyone who actually has one of their bikes. Before I get too serious about buying one, I was wondering if anyone had any information about their frames.
Here is a link to their triathlon frame web page:

When I spoke to the owner, he made it sound as if all of their triathlon frames have dual junction seat stays (which I haven't seen before). He stated that it improves lateral stiffness, but I would like more opinions.
Here is a link to what their road frames look like (including pictures of their dual junction seat stay system):

Does anyone have any opinions about these frames and the viability of racing of one?
