Toby, sounds like you got a good deal there seeing as a centaur gruppo costs around 450 without wheels. Thats cause of the cyclescheme. I think if it was at full price the other options you would have would probably be better but the foffa deal isnt bad either.
Just remember that a frame is not simply the sum of the tubeset. Theres a reason why a colombus SLX frameset made by Ugo De Rosa is better than a colombus SLX frameset made by a chinese mass produced factory (ie a Foffa). What people are saying is that there are better options as the Foffa frames are perhaps not of the standard that most bikes running a spanking centaur groupset would normally be. Id agree but also say that Foffa isnt criminally overpriced or poor quality either.
