javascript:void(0);  Hope they turn out to be decent bikes, but it's probably too much to hope...14.8 kg is terribly heavy...

And sadly these seem to be their lower end rides...I'm really interested in their carbon frame, which will be available in the US in 2010 according to their distributor (though that doesn't mean you couldn't order it from Chain Reaction earlier, when available).

Mabie I'm just an old fuddy-duddy thats doesnt like change or has a hard time getting into new stuff, but, these new PF's just dont hold the same appeal to me as ones made years ago or like my 856 does - I dont know, I like the carbon ones I've seen posted the past few days in the sales thread - but this new PF's are just kinda ho-hum blahhh to me. :-\

Just imagine their top of the line 998 carbon frame with a carbon crosslink and you'll know what I'm thinking. Kind of like the Razorback frame/Crosslink fork combos we've seen on eBay occasionally (was that an official model?).
