If you are looking for a training bike or trying to go long distances fixed and don't wan't the hassle of building up a fixie, this is a great pickup. Personally, I would build my own.
The carbon fork does look a bit big when you compare it to the small tubes of the rear triangle but it rides REAL well. Little extra part I wasn't expecting was the carbon seatpost. I'm using this mostly for training rides so the geometry works well on the road.
