I bought a VISP TRX 790 for $51 in auction, so I paid a total of $121 with shipping. I like it and it has more relaxed geometry in the front than the TRX 795, so the ride is not too harsh and it is still very stiff and climbs well. It is solidly built and has good alignment, but the seatpost size turned out to be an oddball 27.4mm instead of the claimed 27.2mm. It is much heavier than my Bianchi Pista Concept, so I assume it is built using thick straight guage tubing. Contrary to Scrodzilla's comment, the welding is good quality, however there is no grinding to provide a smooth finish. Still, I don't think I would pay $148 for it, which with $70 shipping would come out to a total of $218.
