Pedalforce frames?
Ive been seeing a lot about them on here but I am not familiar with the frames. Opinions? I'm not in the market for a frame right now but I am curious.

There was a BF group buy awhile back, and a number of people around here have them. The owners appear to like them, and difficult to argue with the price.

I've been riding a QS2 for nearly four years. Its' my number 2 bike. I ride it in the winter since I put the lights and fenders on it, and in the summer it's a backup for my other bike. It gets 1500-2500 miles a year. It's a good frame, and PedalForce treats their customers well. I'd buy another one.

I love my RS so much I'm considering the current group buy, even though i need a new road frame like I need a bullet hole in the forehead. I should really spend the money on a Quarq.

I rode my ZX3 for two years -- loved it. High performance, light weight, high stiffness. I only changed because my style of riding changed and Pedal Force doesn't make a bike with "endurance" geometry.
If I were in the market for a bike and PF made a Roubaix-style frame, I wouldn't hesitate to snap one up.

Check out the CX1. Plenty of room for big tires and fenders plus really tall headtubes (for a given top tube length). I commute on one and so far (almost 2500 miles) it's been a great frame.

I was the first to complete the Z3 group buy build and post it to the board. I was also the first to sell the frame after one ride. I hated the steering, it was way too slow for me. I upset a lot of people with my impressions of the bike, but I was just telling the truth, the bike was a slug. It did go in a straight line very well, and it was light, and it didn't cost all that much. I sold it for what I had in it so I didn't loose any money and the new owner was very happy with it.

I love my RS2. I'm possibly looking into their new Group Buy that their offering- we'll see. It does everything a badged frame does.
I've been happy.
