That's a sweet deal. This model doen't have the seat post issue like the leader 725? With these new companies it's difficult to choose because certain years have bad frames and others are fine. That's why asking you, I don't have the energy anymore to track down a good frame. Anyway, thanks for the advice.

If I didn't already own five alu/carbon track bikes I might jump on one of them as well.

It took awhile for my shop to start dealing with Aventon because from what I saw of their initial run of frames when they first hit the market, I wasn't impressed. From what we've been seeing regularly on a first-hand basis and and as their component choices on the new completes clearly show, Aventon's quality has greatly improved over the past few years and my shop has a pretty strong relationship with them now. Aside from them being a big supporter of our local Velodrome and their team coach Sean Burke teaching classes there, they are cool to deal with, their product is good and they stand by it. Works for me.

Aventon's warehouse is about two hours away from the shop and because we can't feasibly keep every size & color in stock at all times, some ship from us and whatever we don't have in stock at the time is drop shipped directly to the end customer from their facility.
Either way, it's an amazing deal.

You could buy a dozen fixies, and Scrod still wouldn't give you the time of day.

Like most other smart mike companies, Aventon hasn't changed the design of the Mataro every two months and I've never seen one that has broken under normal use.
