That is a nice bike!
Any new experiences? I am still interested in this frame, but there is not much information on the web...

Although overall a nice frame and upgrade from my old chinese carbon bike, I do have some concerns about the bike. Overall, the ride is smooth, and not too harsh; stiffness is decent, but is not as stiff as I hoped it would be (I was able to test ride a 105 Evo, and while it did not blow me away, power transfer definitely felt superior). I had a problem with the front derailleur when building up the bike also. The hanger does not allow the derailleur to extend far enough (by about 5mm) and as a result, I do get some rub while in certain combinations. LBS recommended I contact the manufacture, but the response was something along the lines of "it's part of the design". In the end, my build cost me around $1600 USD and weighs around 6.8kg (Ultegra 6800 w/ Red Crank + Alu Stem/Bars + Set of 38mm Tubulars w/Sprinters)
Hope this helped. Feel free to ask more.
Has anyone had the same issue?
