Stay Away!
You can get a generic chinese carbon frame and build yourself that exact same bike for half that price.
Some of the bikes on their site aren't even carbon at all, but they still say "SP Carbon" on the side. This seems to be a scam aimed at people who don't know any better.

incazzare.
Junk. Generic frames. The tackiest ones, noted above, are aluminum wrapped in carbon stickers.

I can't see any of their specific models either but the one on the main page when you enter the site is a 315 from Flyxii. If you buy it from china yourself the frame is $480.

If you buy it directly from Flyxii you won't get that awesome warranty support from SP!
Or just buy two and deal with it.
