I have a cheaper K2 T:9 road bike (Whirlwind). I posted questions about it on TEF before I bought it. I didn't get any positive views of the brand in terms of their bikes in general, nor the T:9 range in particular. Most people had either neither heard of it, or were aware only of their skiing brands. So, I was a bit nervous about buying it.
However, it was the only road bike with a woman's specific frame that I could afford (I have short arms in relation to my height, so any non-WSD bikes I tried stretched me out too much), so I went with it, rather than compromise and buy the hybrid that my budget was more suited to.
I don't ride far or fast, but for what I do, it's been fine so far - I'm very happy with it.
