Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Anyone ridden an Opus?

Canadian brand for a Canadian guy, specs seem good, like the different wheel options, not sure about quality, customer service etc,

Any comments?

At my LBS, they seem to be a bit overpriced for what you're getting. They do have cool paintschemes though.

Mainly seen as a generic, off-the-shelf Taiwan frame. If your French is not too bad, Velo-Mag did a side-by-side test of 5 canadian carbon bikes (Guru, Opus, Garneau, Argon18 and Devinci), and the conclusion was that Guru is way above everyone (in quality, build,... and price), Devinci stands out, and the other 3 are a bit bland. Does not mean it's not a good deal.

Can't remember; I saw the full article on the web recently, but I can only find the Devinci version now (https://www.devinci.com/image/gabarit/VeloMagCx.pdf). It has only the Devinci CX test and the conclusion. If I had to take a guess, I would say the 6.2.

Finally found the article - www.gurubikes.com/french/pdf/velomag_carbon.pdf - and it was indeed the LG 6.2 they tested. Interesting article, that has me seriously looking at the Devinci CX.
