http://www.bigshotbikes.com.......has anyone heard of this brand, is it any good for a starter?
Kilo TT from
Bikesdirect or
BikeIsland Frameset (same frame).
They are cheaper and made of 4130 chromoloy steel, which is lighter AND stiffer than the sh*t hi-ten offered by bigshot.
Sure, you get color options from bigshot, but in the end with the same price, you can get a better frameset and upgrade/customize parts on your own.
Just stay away from bigshot.
Other options are IRO, 1/8th inch, Swobo, and other bikedirect options. I believe they are all made of the better 4130 chromoly.
