I bought one of these recently and I've been pretty satisfied. A lotta folks on the forums here bash BD, or anyone who posts a positive experience with a BD bike, but from what I have read, very few of them seem to actually own one and can say "I had this problem" or "they screwed me" or whatever.

A friend of mine was a professional bike mechanic, and he was pretty impressed with the bike when he looked it over. He thought the frame really looked good, and in particular he said the welds looked comparable to what he's seen on other (more expensive) titanium frames. This guy has ridden many different frame materials over the years and currently rides high-end Italian stuff (De Rosa, et al.) with Campy Record, so I believe he knows a good bike when he encounters one.

Judge for yourself. I wanted the SRAM Rival-equipped version, but I got a very good buy on this one with Ultegra/FSA. So far I have only about 100 miles on it, but I don't think I'll be liking it any less around this time next year.
