I didn't bother building up the 3rd. Sold it on e-bay to someone else.

Yeah. Wrek and Crash-N-Fail are pretty [censored] products

Cervelo does make carbon bikes off shore, but I believe that they do
have a very proprietory technique/techniques and they select a
manufacturer and go over and train them and get an NDA or some such so
that you dont end up with everyone else getting their frames made the
same way.

I read a good tech piece on this somewhere, I forget if it was online,
or in talking to them or Jonathan regarding his bikes.

I believe they do have an very impressive failure rate, or lack
thereof, which I think means alot, verses some of these disposable
carbon bikes.

Bjarne Rijs likes them, enough to do a deal with them, and he is a real
tech weenie, right? Jalabert in the TDF on Tylers bike, all while
sponsored (and later employeed) by Look. I think they have _some_
cred.

Just my 2 cents.

Do you actually have any negative experience with them, or just
trolling?
