Devinci bikes - reputation
Anyone familiar with Devinci - from Canada? I have a Trek 820 mtb from my lbs who has shown me the Trek 1000 - 1200 - 1500 and they all look real nice, seems they have many satisfied owners.
My not-so-lbs who I have the utmost respect for showed me the Devinci Apex - he's carried the line 4-5 years; its grown well for him in his shop and looks nice. I'm not sure whether Canadian produced vs China produced means now.
btw - price of the Devinci Apex in his shop is $1150; he may work me a deal.
Anyone own a Devinci bike? - especially one of their road bikes?
Thanks / Peter

For the past 2 years I've ridden a Devinci Chicane. It currently has well over 10,000 km on the frame. I've replaced wheels, seat, seatpost, stem, and a few drive train components. No complaints whatsoever.

i met a guy on the side of the road once...he was fixing his flat, and he had a devinci. he seemed to really like it. i don't recall what model it was, but his seemed pretty decked out with dura-ace(possibly new ultegra...didn't get a great look), mavic ksyriums and FSA SLK carbon crankset.
Bike shops round here seem to really like them as well, and i've heard really good things about them (note: when i heard good things about them at bike shops, they knew i wasn't going to buy a bike so its not like they were trying to make a sale).
here's the link to their site

The reputation around here -- Montreal -- is that Devincis are not bad and not great. Nothing special. The aluminum frames had a bunch of alignment problems a few years back. The brand has a strong following in Quebec, mostly because Devinci is a Quebec company, though I'm not sute the frames are actually made in Quebec anymore.

Devinci's are made in Taiwan. Especially the CF frames.
They are the Treks of Canada.
Consider Marinoni, all made in Quebec, and at least a 30 year racing history.
Steel, Ti, CF, Ally, CF-ally. All can be custom-made.

I also researched Devinci a few months ago and I came away with a good/positive feeling about the brand/company/bikes.
