Man those are some chunky welds in that pic...they may be functional, but they're very uh...eyepopping.
I like the understated logo.

What is the weight on these frames like? As far as an aero aluminum frame goes (which I generally dislike, I like the look of these and would consider riding one, actually..

I have a FTP sitting next to me and they do look about as good. Certainly on the same level or (this is gonna hurt...) BETTER than the welds on the 2005 Pista Concept I had.

what? that's perfectly functional internet grammar. he may be running sentences like a marathon, but it's better than most on here.
and yeah, this frame is awesome. it's hard to choose a more expensive bike over this because it seems like such a good deal. i'd love to see one built up with a track cf fork.
