I think the frames are discontinued. At least that is why the guy on ebay said he was no longer needing to keep the sample. Too bad because the lugged steel frame rides like a dream. It uses "Genius" tubing.
The tri-comps are a great riding and durable tire. I also use the Fortezzas on my road bike. They are quite similar riding except that the tri-comps are a little grippier for cornering. These are the older ones that were still "Handmade in Holland". I have not tried the newer Asian made tri-comps. I have tried the new Fortezzas, however, and they ride about the same as the old ones.
