The guy told me it was a taiwanese frame, made to Orbea specs & priced to get some of the TCR's market share....I reckon it will do well. I might just have to get me a ride on one o' these. If saccy's missus has said yes, he'd better move quick, cos if she's like most woman, she'll have changed her mind by the end of next week....either that or she's after something for herself that costs a bob ....beware saccy....this bike is gunna cost you heaps in brownie points!
