Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'd do some searching. I find 135 posts that contain Fetish in just the road bike forum.

I hear they're not meant for everyone and it takes certain types of people to ride those well. If you have a penchant towards other peoples' toes, weird use of body fluids or mixing sexual pain with pleasure, I think these bikes might be the ticket

J/K

There are lots of folks who like the ride and enjoy the Fetish design and paint scheme.

I built one for my little brother about
5 months ago. He has had no issues from it. For what I've got in it, it's a good bike.

All Ultegra minus the 105 FD.

Honestly, we need to have one of those smilies be a "USE THE SEARCH" guy.

That said, if you would have searched you would have found that they are generic frames made in Taiwan and many of them ar also sold under many other names including Leader Bikes and others. They are OK but not excellent in most aspects except possibly value. The prices on the Fetish website are just a ploy to make their E-bay deals look better. The prices they list are not a bargain, fortunately nobody ever pays those prices.
