I like Visps.
Bought a road frame (Kristall, I think it was branded) from the same seller and am building it with mostly older Tiagra. Will do fine as my method of transportation to the office and back. Ugly as hell, but for 140 or so dorrah (shipping included) I am quite pleased with the purchase.
And I'd rather get a Visp to bang around than use my Principia as my everyday ride.
Add a carbon fork and I do believe a Visp will serve you well. Okay, if the damn thing falls apart under you, it is shit. But if it holds together and gets you to bars and back -- or acts as it should on the track -- well, where's the damn problem?
I do like Steamrollers, too.
