I think I concur and had never heard of them until now.

Nice

I bought this new in the box off Ebay. It is easily the nicest riding carbon frame I have ever ridden. It now has a Campy Chorus group and Racing Zero wheels.

Here's mine. AX Lightness Vial Evo. Zipp 303s, Dura Ace except for the Rotor 3D+ crank.

Awesome ride. Good example of what nice carbon can do.

yeah, wonder about weight too. Anything AX is going to be light. That said, rest of the build seems nice, not weight weenie at all.

At the risk of offending everyone else in the thread....that's easily the most attractive one IMO.

I love my Rigid Carbon 29 plus
​It’s fast. Right after I built it up I had a rash of PR’s on Strava segments.

Total price for the build was just over 1800.

I love the 29+ tires. I run them 12-14 psi, so they wrap around and grip the rocks. I am amazed at tech sections that it climbs.

In two years of about three rides a week, I broke the rear hub. The freewheel locked.

I like the matte carbon look. About 24 lbs.

I can completely relate with that statement. Really is a fabulous riding/racing bike.

I've never actually put the whole bike on a scale. Frame with headset and bb bearings, hangar and cable guides is 760g -- so bare frame is ~660g. Cut fork is 278g. Stem is Extralight at 83g. Wheels are tubular which makes big difference.

I also have a moots compact. Definitely heavier but I don't really mind unless I'm hurting on a climb.

Custom built by SARTO
I had this built for longer rides and it does that job well. The steer tube has been cut to size since this picture was taken. It was ordered through

It's nothing fancy, but it's currently nice and clean and waiting for some better weather so thought I'd take a pic.
