Im seriously thinking of getting one. I never buy anything new, so its a big deal for me. From what I have read up they are made by Kinesis, out of decent aluminium which is considerably lighter than regular 7005. The finishing of the welds looks great, much better than more expensive frames Ive seen.
But really its a shot in the dark for me. The world of modern alu track frames & carbon forks etc.. If there was anyone more experienced in this kinda thing it would be good to get some advice.
I noticed that the frames have fairly compact dropouts (smaller than most steel frames) and they are non-replaceable. This is a concern for me, as I guess it is not designed to be ridden on the road. If they were to crack on the dropout it probably wouldnt be pheasible to fix.
