Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Opus bikes ?

Has anyone heard good or bad things about Opus ? I just bought a (I believe 2008) Opus Fidelio road bike off my buddy for $180. He set me up good cause he is buying a much nicer bike but I'm pretty sure this bike has less than 500 km on it, and I've seen a almost identical bike priced at my LBS for about $800 Canadian. The chains a bit rusted and there are some scratches, but the main components are all fine. Just wanted to know if you guys think this is a good deal, and if you heard any positive or negative things about Opus since I've never heard of them.

I've had 2 Opus bikes - Andante and Crescendo. Crashed / killed the Andante. Thinking of selling the Crescendo, but I like it too much (even though it's a size too large). Nothing to really complain about, but prefer my S-Works SL3 Tarmac over it.

A friend of mine has an opus alto from about 2008 or 2009. It seems to work pretty good for him.
