What are the details on those frames? Look pretty aero. Interested in where weight and where you sourced them.

They are generic manufactures in China, I've only purchased through eBay, but there are other direct purchase from manufacturers' websites.

I usually accumulate a decent rebate on eBay every quarter to get a good discount on the purchase of these frames.

My bicycle racing days are mostly gone, not putting out nearly as much power from my legs to need a bike that gets constantly abused with race efforts. These frames has been holding up well, comfortable ride for longer rides (40-50 miles), and stiff enough to climb up steep hills in my area (12-16% gradient).

I run 700x25c tires on them, along with the Chinese carbon wheels help with comfort level.

I haven't weigh them specifically, but they are lighter than my 19 year-old Litespeed (sub 19 lb.) that I have put over 72k miles on.


Similar frames are plenty on eBay, just need to know what you are looking for.
Currently I can only find this listing on eBay for the frame that I ride:
