Couple of things really. Anyone got one of these and care to share their experiences?

Anyone know where I can get hold of a frame only? They seem in short supply...

    Tell me about how you go about choosing a nice 753 off eBay... It completely baffles me. I.e, should I be concerned with the age of a frame?

    What do you want to know? Bought my frame and fork from epic cycles. Great service. Really pleased with the bike, it's comfortable and fun to ride

    You know, ride quality. Whether it feels sluggish and heavy or light and responsive; whether it deserves all the praise it gets; whether you have a smile on your face when riding it; whether it's an utter steel (pun intended) at £279.

    That sort of thing.

    Light and responsive, yes to praise and to smiling

    I compared it to a fratello and thought it was good value

    I'm really pleased with it and I tried a bunch of bikes before I bought it ( roubaix, madone, cube agree, specialized secteur ) hope that helps
