I've used search on this and read some old threads about this brand. The owner/rep? is local to my area and is pushing these bikes. They're going for over 3K loaded with HED cf wheels and Red. I'm curious if anyone has one or if anyone has any knowledge of their integrity, performance etc.

Thanks,

A friend of mine has one of the Red Pro (Trebisacce) frames he built up as a DA bike. I comes in at 15.5 lbs at 54 cm. I took it for a spin. IT IS STIFF. He says it's very fast, but after about 3 hrs he's ready to get off. I was considering one, but it is a racing frame, and is a bit aggressive and harsh for me. YMMV.

Since you are local, you can stop by and if they have one in your size you can take it out for a spin.

I can't imagine it is that much better or worse than most other carbon fiber frames out there. Also, I have seen lots of local racers on them, for what it is worth.

ive seen one in person. looked over it and held it. not impressed, especially at that price.

would rather get a Focus at that price. hell, i would have rather a diamondback podium 6, those impressed and surprised me.

there are much better for that price imo

Thanks Gents. My ride pal built one up and he is liking it. However he's going to pay$ for a proper fit. We've been together on a few 25-30 mile rides and he has not complained about any fatigue. Once thing I can say for sure, that the frame is quite handsome and it's built up with sram black and looks very cool. Mike

Did he buy the frame only or did he get the complete bike kit? The complete bike kit with SRAM Red BLACK and the Carbon Wheels for $3100 seems like an awesome bike for the buck.

He got the complete rig but with HED's. That's what I thought too (about the cost). So far it's awesome for him. The bars, stem and post are all CF, winged bars too. Believe me, I'm not shill here. I ride a CR1 and couldn't be happier. And I actually conveyed apprehension to my bud over this rig due to the no name factor, what type of CF and that it's pretty aggressive etc. The black group speaks for itself. But if the rest of the rig continues to perform as good as the whole thing looks then bingo (as the kids say...)

bobthib; you ride with CSP? I live in CC and ride in and out of Pklnd, CS, CC and sometimes A1A.

Yup. I ride with CSP Express. Sat AM only normally, and an occasional weekday ride. I also ride out of Starbucks in Parkland at 5:30 am on Tues and Thurs. Steve, the guy with the Stradalli DA build, usually rides on Sunday.
