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

Question about Carbon Frame on Ebay

Could someone let me know any info they might have on this carbon frame on Ebay:

https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=320393671948

The seller looks to be selling a lot of carbon stuff, but whether or not it is any good I do not know. I have a 7800 gruppo sitting around and would like to build up a second bike to take some of the training miles.

Thanks ahead of time.

There's been a few posts on weightweenies and roadbikereview about these ebay carbon frames. I think that everyone was pretty happy with theirs. YMMV, tho. If I were you, I would like at a used CAAD8 or CAAD9 off of ebay or go to bikeisland and get a carbon frame there.

I wonder why they list the weight of the fork and seatpost, but not the frame.

I looked at those for awhile myself, then bought a sweet Caad4 with hardly any miles on it for $250. Much less to worry about.
