They seem to sell all of their stuff pretty cheap. Pretty much all of their products are CF (handlebars, pedals, frames, ect...)

I managed to talk to a sales rep and found the pricing on some of their products.

For instance, the "pedalforce", "planet x", rebadged, generic frameset - exactly as in the link (seatpost, fork, frame, NO headset)

is <$800
Handlebars:



The price of Twin Peak is < $150






The price of Sedna is < US $200






The price of Sweetzone is < $150





The price of W-Comp Elite is < $70


I didn't want to quote the EXACT prices so I rounded up a bit (actually a lot), I didn't want to get on anyone's bad side.

I actually would have bought some stuff from them (carbon bottle cages for cheap) but when I saw the price for freight (more than $250) I immediately canceled the purchase. Why throw away that much money for just a couple of cages? I definately don't want to buy frames online without trying them.

Any thoughts/experiences? I emailed them about US based suppliers, but I highly doubt there's any luck there.

Thanks

I bought some silvery-colored cages on ebay back in February for something like $20 ea. (guessing on the price) and paid like eight bucks for shipping. They aren't particularly attractive, but they were cheap. I know a girl who has the white handlebars and I've never heard her complain. It looks pretty good on her white Bianchi, but if I were to buy the cages again, I definitely would have gotten the black ones.
