vivalo lost their njs certification a while ago, which automaticlly means that everything with "vivalo" on it is shit and should be avoided at any cost
as far as iKnow its just some of their forks...:)
tis a great frame for a small person and hes including nice headset+BB too!
iGuess you will have to be really quite small though..
Yes, Apparently a pair of forks failed in a race!, but I have two friends with Vivalo's, and the forks have not failed.... Yet!!
Dudes, the issues with Vivalo were detected in frames produced between May and December of 2007. Only.
Apart from those series everything else is as good as it were before.
Not the worst from NJSland for sure. I know, had one, was perfect and beautiful.
TBF buying a Vivalo (IMO) is buying a very nice quality/build frame, japanese made, but w/o
hipster NJS tax. They're still expensive though.
I'm pretty sure they're now called Ocean.
