Anyone else considering the Pedal Force CG2 road bike frame? (now w/ pics of a build)
Looks like a winning deal, Asymmetric headtube (upper 1-1/8" / lower 1-1/4) & BB30: https://pedalforce.com/online/product...ducts_id=20494

I got the QS3 just over a year ago and I have been very happy with it. The only issue was the BB30. It made tons of noise. Once we rebuilt it for the 3rd time and used green loctite it did fine. The QS3 is reasonably stiff but has a really good ride quality. I compared it to a Madone 6 during cycle oregon last year and they were very close, Madone a little bit stiffer???? Maybe....
Group buy looks like a good deal.

FWIW I built a CX1 just over a year ago and it has served me very well. With 28mm tires it might be my favorite bike.

In for one at the 49+ level. Does everyone here do their own build? I was thinking about ordering the frame and components and it take it to my LBS.

I dunno why PF doesn't paint this frame. With all the generic carbon fiber ebay frames (same from same molds as PF), the brand & reputation is a key differentiator. I can vouch for their customer service, they crash replaced my rs2 quick style. I was able to go from a naked black frame to a white/black frame and aesthetically it was a huge improvement.
Yeah, I'm on fence!

The CG2 road-bike frameset group-buy now has 44 commitments, 50 are needed for the group buy to happen. The sign-up period ends Aug 7th. The chance to buy an advanced carbon fiber frameset for $550 is looking very good. Frames will be shipped this month.

I'm all hot for the CX2 cross frame. Fender mounts and Rack mounts plus it will be a great cross frame. I want a rain bike / cross bike. I signed up for that one. Not many signed up though.

I'm still loving my QS3 frame from Pedal Force. I'd say it is comparable to a 5 series Madone frame. Well made too, just generic.

Just signed up as well. This looks to be a BB30/gloss clear coat version of the November Wheelhouse frame

Hopefully some more people get in on this. $450 for the frame is crazy

I want this, but can't really scrape up the $$ required. Plus I think this one might be the n-1 where the -1 is the wife leaving.

I'm just happy the CX2 is half way to the group buy. I'd get the CG2 but I already have the QS3 and I really like it. Don't know if it would be that much different.
