Help identifying a bike?
 

I am in the market for a my first road bike, and a buddy of mine is willing to sell me his used "racing frame". The frame is an Abici Podium. Looks to be from the maybe the mid 2000's. Anybody heard of this brand? I tried to look it up, but I couldn't find anything.

Alu frame, good reputation for comfort, strength, lightweight and ability to corner. Company out of business about 2008.
