I'd refuse to buy one of their bikes for no other reason than their site is 100% Flash. How annoying.

don't think they have a US importer bros

(but dig how the whole citroen-esque design philosophy is there in the bikes, the site, the weird component selections...french race bikes...some really right -- look, cyfac -- some are just out there)

its probably an all right bike...the geo looks solid...

but your bike should never look like it was assembled using shrinky-dink technology

Looks like the unhappy marriage of Colnago's B-stay, Pinarello's Onda, and God knows what else!

And what's with the hole in the fork? Is there a purpose to that, or is it just aesthetic?

"placing a MBK Elastomer Gel Packet in the fork slot provides the cyclist with an easily accessible source of carbohydrate during competition, while also making optimum use of the vibration-dampening characteristsics of maltodextrin over rough surfaces."
