Your cog is slipping.
What constitutes it being lower end? From talking to them it seemed like the cheap ones were cheap because they were pre painted and standard sizing, while the other ones came with a custom color and could have custom geo (among other custom add ons) and I believe both come with the exact same fork. If you price the MMXII vs the standard Gara the price difference isn't even much, since the MMXII doesn't come with a fork
Either way, all of these framesets have the same geo, according to their sales rep who I talked to directly. I also believe both are double butted 6061 aluminum

Dude, my shop used to sell them.

Uh-oh. the 15" almost has my optimal MTB top tube of 58cm, just a few mm shy. Another MTB, that's about the last thing I need...

I got this on email and was considering it, the everyday price for this at bikeisland.com is $159 I believe.
Gotta say though, lugged fork with an ovalized aero aluminum frame looks bizarre. https://bikeisland.com/images/1204014.JPG

Au contraire - the mass-marketed version that was available in the US through Leader is standard 6061-AL and the Italian ones are custom-drawn/butted Dedacciai Fire 7003-AL. Also, the fork that was available with the MMXII Gara is similar in design but is not an Alpina fork.

Hey, Cannondale used to put similarly constructed forks on their fat tubed frames BITD.

Bern Brentwood Black XL : $15
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listi...condition=used
Bern Macon Black XL : $16
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listi...condition=used
I picked up a Brentwood several weeks ago for around $26 -- it was also listed as "used" but it arrived in mint condition.
