Right...
its an alright starter to build upon. You're better off just getting the frame and fork if you really want a Pearson. Upgrade wheels and cranks, and seat and seatpost. Luckily I know a guy who knows a guy who deals with the manufacturer, so I can get the F&F cheap as fuck.
The rims are shite, they wear really quickly and then break.
The seat is shite - after a few months it will dip in the middle, leaving your perenium unsupported (I know you shouldnt put any pressure on your peri but the point is that the middle of that seat is weak as fuck).
As for FSA vero/rpm* cranks... lol - bare jokes!!! They self destruct and take a chunk out of my new frame. Nice! Do yourself a favour and upgrade.
*rpms are identical to veros but veros have square taper hole, rpms have isis hole
