BUMP.
Has anyone ever gotten the chance to ride/see a FOCUS bike in action? I happened to stumble upon the brand a few months ago, and I'd have to say, the German company makes some pretty good looking bikes.
Granted, the company's more popular in Europe and Australia (I believe), so it's understandable that no one's ever ridden them here in the U.S.
For example:

Izalco Pro 3.0
