Info on Tirreno Frames?
So I am looking into these Tirreno Razza frames and was hoping that someone could tell me a little bit about them. Performancebike.com sells them but doesn't provide much info on them? I heard that they are made by fuji, don't know how true that is? Any info would be a great help..

I don't think even Fuji bikes are made by Fuji. The Performance bikes may be made by the same generic Taiwanese company (or companies) that also makes the current incantation of Fuji bikes. I'm sure the bikes are rideable and safe, but judging their exact value is kind of hard unless you can take some test rides before you buy.

Tirreno frames (the Alloy ones) are actually pretty nice. I also know Tirenno used the Pedal Force ZX3 for its carbon bike last year as well. I saw one of the red alloy frames a couple years ago at the local shop with the diamond tubing, and it was a pretty nice setup. The guy there also said they were pretty stiff, yet still comfy enough with the carbon stays.

My local Performance, in the Redmond area, told me that although it can change from year to year, the frames for the Performance 'house brands' are usually made by Kinesis in Taiwan.

I looked at the same bike at my local Performance Bike story it is a nice bike. I started doing research on the frame myself, a lbs guy said they frames where made in China ( see my Made in China Thread )
and they weren't that great. He said it was a good component set on a cheap frame.

Thats good hear, I never had anyone give me ride report on one. Sounds like a good bike.
