A friend has a Mataro frame built with nice parts. I've ridden it, it's a solid, fun bike. Sure it doesn't have any Aventon parts left on it besides the seat post, but I don't think Scrod would sell a bike with dangerous forks.
That said, I'd still get a Leader instead. I just think they look better for about the same money.
