Aluminum frame from Taiwan, carbon fork with aluminum steerer, good. Shimano components. I do think price is high for a 2006 model. But then I'm not looking for a bike so I can wait.
That's pretty much what I was thinking.
Although disk brakes are a fine idea in general, it's kind of overkill for a road bike.
It doesn't look like there is an option for a triple crank. For some riders this would be a minus.
It's probably a well made bike.
