Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Purchased At:
Straight from Avent/Bombshell
Strengths:
Crazy light, just as stiff as my full aluminium frame, internal headset, very strong (I cased a time or two), great geometry, very well-balanced, carbon "cool" factor
Weaknesses:
I haven't found any physical weakness...however, people rip on it because it is half carbon even though they don't know anything about carbon's structural properties
Similar Products Used:
the only thing similar is the FMF carbon frame, but I haven't ridden it yet
Bike Setup:
Avent Morpheus frame, Odyssey Pro Race 41 Thermal forks, Cane Creek ZS2 headset, Profile race cranks w/ euro BB, Alex Supra B rims laced to RL cartridge flip-flop hubs, Wellgo MG-1s, Thomson seatpost, Atomlab stem, S&M Medium bars @ 25.5"
Bottom Line:
Sweetest frame I have ever ridden: Light, fast, and a real head turner.
