Unsafe link = unsafe bike..... although the site is fine from here according to NOD32....
Nah don't bother wasting that money ($385) on those garbage built to order hi ten frame sites.... there's other cheaper and better bikes out there.... such as the kilo tt which is reynolds 520 chromo.

Pat, do you have trouble reading bike specs and forming your own opinion? Considering you already heard that hi-ten frames suck, perhaps you could have used your sherlock-like powers of deduction to determine that your latest discovery might also suck.
Did you think this bike would be any different because it had a different name? If you don't believe the original advice given, why ask for more opinions?
Sheesh.
What kind of comment do I need to leave to get this thread locked?
