Well, the link was to bikesdirect but there's a store called Cycle Spectrum near me that has them in stock and assembled for 50 bucks more.
As far as a superior frame goes to my noob eye the GF looks like it has stronger thicker welds, but looks identical as far as shape goes. I doubt I'll be doing anything (initially) that could possibly break a weld on either bike, so beyond that what makes it superior?
