The frame only is on their site for £400! :shock:
That seems to be a helluva good frame for the price.
Is it normal price, or heavily discounted to make way for the new Exocet?
Also, as the forks have to be bought seperately, (PX ones are £179, I think), is there a better fork at a similar price?

I wonder why C+ didn't include a Stealth in this months TT bike shootout? :?

    The price is good, but nothing special.....

    I think the frame and forks were previously £550.

    Now if the £400 was a frame & fork price , that would be a deal...

    Ps. I've got one.

    As you're obviously a little more clued up on this subject, what other frames are there to consider in this price range?

    If they were previously £550, then the F & F they're 'offering' now, is almost robbery, at £579 + headset, etc... :?

    I'd consider one, but not seen one in a shop, or 2nd hand, for sale.
    Info/ reviews are pretty hard to find, too.

    the problem with some reviews is that they compair it to bikes such a cervelo p3s +4s etc. which is unrealistic for the average person to get or be able to relate to. Most TT bikes are better than a road bike, really I think there is very little between each tt bike.
