just found that they are only round the corner from me and wondered if anyone had any experience of them or what the general viewof them is?

When I see the words custom and hand built and all that I think a skilled worker custom building a frame to your specs. They talk about there the frame builder and all that. But are they really what they are trying to portray? If you are thinking of getting one I would go down and have a look see if its all true as may people are just selling cheap generic Chines or Taiwanese or other such cheap place frame with there brand on.

I think their OEM bike parts are an absolute rip off. If I really wanted one of those I'd buy the frame and custom build it myself. £187 for SLX brakes?! Insane.

It looks to me like they import the frames, charge you £1000 to paint it, add on some OEM parts with 50% markup and only get 1 or 2 sales a year.

I'd rather have a Scott Scale 10 than their custom bike. Cheaper, drastically better groupset, I'd bet money on a better frame and I'd trust the warranty a lot more.

They do seem to offer a custom fit. To your exact spec.

That is the price fitted I would have thought!

I have had a carbon frame from them and it was custom made for me. Very light and fast. Looks amazing.

Look gorgeous.

But the Titanium frame is the BUDGET option :shock:

They do look nice, what I cant figure out is why their publicity photos have been constructed out of two photos :? Just take a look at the rear of the bike in comparison with the front;



Seems very odd as everything from the cranks backwards is a completely different viewing angle to the front of the bike, which has affected the geometry of the bike in the picture (more slack headset angle etc.)

Its a single photo, but the bike is leaning, which is causing that effect.
