No, I've really not heard much about these frames other than the little bit of advertising and the one review I think I have. A couple have popped up on eBay over the last couple of years that I've considered, but not taken the plunge on. I'd be curious to know your impressions if you end up with it.

Its a unique frame.. but i'm a little wary about it too.. just wanna be sure before i take the plunge too...

dun wanna take a 10year old frame home, polish it back to its usual shine, built it up nicely n bling, then alas... i crack it !!!

That's always a danger with second-hand aluminum frames...

the lbs is asking for S$850 with a manitou 4 ( NOS ) too...

but its already at clearance price so no warranties.... so its S$80 on the gambling table... :cry:
