    that is really cool! I'd like to see how well they hold up. Decent pricing too.

    I'd love to try one. I like unique things. Unfortunately well out of my current price range; the frame and fork alone cost what my full carbon full Ultegra cost me

    Edit: Of COURSE there has to be one in my size in Calfee's specials section. I still can't afford it, but darn it's tempting.

    Those are amazing!

    Why would the article quote such low prices when Calfee's site has them for 5 times as much? Or am I missing something here??
