Visp frames

if you look in to the box, the email of the company is a hotmail one

If u look closer you´ll see the email is - , and then they give you an alternative way to communicate: MSN MESSENGER. That also owns hotmail!
I don´t think that is the problem, it´s as normal as if they give out their SKYPE username.
If whoever wants this frame so badly has installed messenger, just give it a go.

"TejanoTrackie" recently posted a review of this frame on bikeforums.net. He wrote:

Well, the frame arrived Tuesday, exactly a week after I paid for it, really quick considering it was shipped from Tianjin, China to Texas, USA. It was very well packaged with lots of bubble wrap on the frame and fork. Finally got it put together today and took it for a short test ride. The frame and fork are solidly made with tons of good and complete welding on the frame. Alignment is excellent; the wheels are perfectly aligned and no-hands riding is easy. The bottom bracket threads were good and installation was easy. The chain line between the crank chanring and rear cog is excellent. Ditto the headset, which is a low-line Cane Creek sealed unit. The seat tube was a little large, and had to be squeezed quite hard to hold the seatpost in place. The finish is basic industrial grade, no smoothing of welds, no blending of the dropouts into the stays, no facing on the bottom bracket or head tubes, just ok paint and lots of tacky decals. The frame and fork are heavy and built like a brick crapper, very stiff and strong. There is nothing flimsy about it and it could definitely be raced on the track, but I think its main intent is a road single speed. The steering tube angle and fork offset are well matched and steering is very stable and neutral. It has over an inch of toe to front tire clearance, so it's easy to do track stands at traffic lights or tight U-turns. It also has a rear brake bridge, so it can be used safely with a single freewheel. The frame is very tight in the rear, and only about a half of the dropouts can be used before the rear tire hits the seat tube. The dropouts have very nice heavy duty stainless steel inserts to prevent damage to the aluminum when tightening the wheel. The complete bike weighs 19 lbs in contrast to my Bianchi Pista Concept track racer that weighs 15.6 lbs. Some of this is due to the heavier frame and some to the heavier street wheels. I ended up using a dropped bar that I found laying around and an ancient brake lever and borrowing a seat and post from another bike, so my total cost including some small parts was $156.64. I definitely feel the frame was worth what I paid for it, and probably would give $50 more.

I so don't want to spend money, but I like the forks. Thanks for posting that review, by the way.

Tynan, surely you have a good way of removing the decals?

good review, sound like a decent frame, that the people of London will hate, another Leather

Someone built up one of these frames and posted pics on fixed gear gallery:

enough spoke cards?

Bloody hell, it takes some effort to ruin a build like that.

Nice frame, I really like it actually, especially the forks. But damn, wtf with all those spoke cards!?!

Shame that's a poor example. Bloody hell...

enough spoke cards?

cheap disc wheel.

Does it worth to buy this frame for 200 pounds?

Anyone?

Ressurected!

These are now £74 BIN with £46 shipping.... Slightly different model being a 795 as opposed to the aboves 790 but still £120 seems really cheap. I do hate the forks though on the 795.

Surely import taxes must bump that price up a fair bit non?

Forks are now more normal looking.

The straight forks on the 790 look very similar to the ones old Giant SCRs had a few years back and that bulge on the seat tube looks familiar but i cant think where from. maybe a Saracen?

Only thing putting me off is the really manky looking welds, and the tubing used.

Anyone got a link to a firsthand account of one bought and and ridden to death, like to know how it holds up under daily stress?

marcola up there ^ owns the one in red, he answered that same question to me a while back with something like 'well worth the money since same/similar make as brands' ask him if you need ride advice. i rode one and found it light (everything is lighter than mine tbh) quick and nippy and with some straight carbo blade forks, as the one i rode, it was even right nervous. just up my alley that thing, i'm tellin'ya!

bump, thinking of getting one of these if anyones selling, and does anyone know why they stopped using the more modern looking forks and switched back too the chunky looking ones

I think this is a pretty cool build, maybe a little OTT, but i like the look

Why have two brake levers and only one brake?

Why have two brake levers and only one brake?

to get more red on hte bike ofc.

I have two brake levers and just one brake...it looks better than one on those bars.

They do actually look quite nice built up, anyone got any idea on weight of these things built up? Is imagine they are quite light being ally and all.
