To be honest I wanted to then seems like the only site I can order one from is gridcitybikeshop I think it was called but adding the frame to the cart and checking shipping prices wasn't working and got confused with the options like 'one color, two color and custom color' but no info other than those pull down options. Also the frame on their site states different colors yet no photos of them and I can't seem to find one complete bike on google using the frame as if it's new and unreleased.
So I started looking at other frames

It feels really nice too, it's fairly stiff and responsive. the bike frame comes with a really nice and fairly light carbon fork. For the ~$800 price point, it feels great, looks great, and is probably one of the nicest bikes I've ever owned. oh, and it's hand made in Germany, so you know it's gotta be made well haha

If I were you though, i'd stick around for the V4 coming out in a few months.
Is it actually hand made in Germany? I didn't see any info on the site and from all the photos I seen it doesn't seem to have any stickers saying where it was manufactured
