I think some of the problems that people have with Airborne is that they are made in China. Some folks object to buying things from China and others worry about service if there is a problem. I know one person who has an Airborne road bike. He has not had any problems with it.

I ride a titanium Sampson Silverton. Sampson is a small bike maker in Colorado. The bike with Campy Chorus 10, a carbon fork, and a number of other upgrades was about $2500 (US) last year. I love it. If you are interested, they have a web site: www.sampsonsports.com. And, no, I don't work for the company. I just like the bike.
