I've bought a few of these to build up and resell, I live near wheel&sprocket, and I can pick up the frame set for $100, I learned this when I put in a $100 offer on ebay and they accepted, now they just sell them to me at that price. Fork is a low end Bontrager carbon, not fancy, but no problems and comes uncut with a new frame. frame is just under 5lbs and is pretty sturdy, ive beat on mine quite a bit. the only weird thing about the frame is two sets of water bottle mounts(at least for the type od bike they seem to intend this to be) and the 30mm seat tube diameter. apperently a guy who works at wheel and sprocket spec'ed these frames and had them made in tiawan. all in all a good buy. at least at $100, and it is deffinetly NOT a kilo.
