Their Podium series carbon road bikes are used by the Rally Cycling (formerly Optum cycling) team.
While the company does stick their name on bike shaped objects sold in stores like Dick's Sporting Goods, the upper end of their product line is on par with any of the major bike shop brands.
For folks who can overcome their aversion to a brand name also associated with BSOs, they can walk away with some really nice bike hardware for really reasonable prices.
