Hi,

Just saw this on Ebay, and was wondering if there's anyone out there who knows about this frame....?

It looks kind of heavy to me, but not a bad price i guess.

Cheers,

    THanks JC.

    Anyone got any views of them or used one?

    The medium frame is around 1500g, then plus forks and seatpost. Seems a tad heavy. Would it give any benefit at all as a frame over a lighter road frame with aero bars?

    Just wondering.

    If you're using it for flat or at least not-really-hilly time trials I wouldn't worry about the weight a bit. I have a Planet X TT frame that's heavier than this and it's way faster for time trials than a much lighter road bike with tri bars. PS take a look at Planet X stealth frames they're a bargain too.

    Yup, got a Karbona-badged frame which is the exact same frame.
    Ridden for the 2 seasons - great frame, prices vary depending on whose name is stuck on it. Also some sources include the headset etc for the basic pricewhilst some don't (mine came without).
