Radon bikes (vs Cube) - any info?

kiwilondon

Hi all, in the market for a hardtail and was looking at a Cube Reaction GTC - heard Cube make good bikes for good value and would like something in Carbon (personal preference and like the qualities).

As I was searching I came across this:
http://www.bike-discount.de/shop/a46188 ... n-6-0.html

Not much info online, but spec and weight at the price doesn't seem bad - the reviews I found by the german sites are ok too..

Has anyone heard of these Black Sin 6.0's or have any info? Is it just another cheap generic Chinese frame as youd get on ebay with some fancy decals?

Or is a Cube a better bet for a little more cash.

Cheers

You do know most frames (Road & MTB are just generic carbon frames made in china dont you?

A great example is the DeRosa R838 - This is a frame they charge £1k for, but infact can be found for £250. Does not make it a bad frame!

I Was aware of that - but wondering if the quality will likely be any worse than any of the big manufacturer brands?

Also, is the spec any good? I'm a roadie so not sure!
