The crank can always be replaced. I've never heard of Opus but I like what I'm seeing and this gets a HOT from me.

That Opus frame looks a lot like the Guru Flite frame. I suspect both are sourcing from the same place.

mine... R.I.P.

Never mind.. the Flite has an internal rear brake cable. Maybe they are just distant Canadian cousins.

I think Guru still build their frames in Montréal but it's not the case of Opus. The company is base in Montréal but their bike are made somewhere in asia, like most of our bikes.

VERY hot Guru !!!

Guru builds their custom/high end in Canada. Mine is/was (I broke it) a Flite. It's made in Taiwan.

I liked it enough that I am replacing it and adding a Photon R.

Duct tape, bubble gum, a touch of WD40 and an insurance check. Chewing the gum and blowing bubbles, using the WD 40 to get the gum out of my hair, the duct tape for redneck leg hair removal and cashing the check to buy a frameset.

I have a new one in blue coming from a team mate. I like how it rides/rode a lot and the fit worked very well for me.

:lol: cool beans man! cant wait to see the new one built up.

Duct tape is a Canadians answer for anything that's broke.
