lowbicycles: hype or worth it?

Hey,

I have to admit I find their frames visually appealing and would love to place an order before they bump up the prices middle of June. especially since I missed out on that one sale up in here...

But! Do I get equal quality and look cheaper within europe? (probably yes?!?) but considering the rarity as something positive, is the quality up to par with the price?

I am just trying to justify buying a frame from them...

I'd rather have a Pellizoli...

Personally I wouldn't spend that much on an alu frame especially with a wait that long. Considering the cost is being bumped up to 1200, I'd spend 50 extra bucks and get a Cervelo T1 fo sho

The geo on this disgusts me.

Lovely, what does the standard leggenda retail for again, Tom?

If my C-track deal falls though I might try and get one of those.

Not sure, around £6-800 I think.

Your C-Track deal?

Will never believe your cries of poverty again...

You can believe, someone offered me a trade (that may be a little harder to believe) :)

Wasn't the Pelizzoli frame about 600,- € ? I would go for the 1 1/8 one though.

I'd have one of each... (:

Me too Tom :P

more drop, hence the name.

but they are really upping prices again... rotfl

To answer the question in the opening post: Nope.

And now to join in the totally unrelated conversation on how people would rather spend that money: I'd buy a car or a dishwasher or go on a vacation with my hot girlfriend.

Cars are shit, I got a dishwasher, and I just got back from vacation with my hot girlfriend (also dishwasher)... Naow for moar biekzzzz!!!!

Its not really a 52cm but a 59 using fashionable extra-long 31.8 seat-posts and riser stems to set position rather than longer head-tubes with "old school" drop stems. Looking at the frames they seem to be too C'dale 90s and just too "groovy" with "mashy" graphics for my taste.. all together a kind of bad pastiche.. made even more "Monty Pythonish" by their Web text... "San Francisco, we are at ground-zero of one of the most vibrant cycling communities in the world."
