Has anyone heard of these before? Belguim company apparently and Ribble have one of their frames for sale that I am looking at. Cant decide if they are a bargain or just a budget brand like Ribble or Decathlon?

Any feedback is appreciated.

    I'll be disappointed if I "WhoIs" their domain and it doesn't lead to solboy10ltd or something.

    I'd say it's the latter (budget brand).

    Doesn't necessarily make it bad, but £250 is probably about right - how much would you pay for a Planet X Pro Carbon frame?

    Doesn't take anything away from either frame, probably perfectly decent to ride, but not a dream machine that will have all your mates jealous.

    It was in reference to this thread: https://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40042&t=13093935

    It looks like the Belgian equivalent of small PX or something, Catalogue frames rebadged and sold on. £250 seems cheap enough to take a punt on.

    I've seen a few of them being raced. Perfectly viable frames, most likely sourced from China/Taiwan, much like everything else on sale. Well worth a shot, IMO..
