Are Stradalli bikes any good? It seems like they are a good value, and they have nice components. But I wonder if they are just a Chinese knock-off. My understanding is that they use an "open mold" frame - which is non-proprietary. Then they add their own decals and build the bike from there. I understand that is not a traditional business model, and it is not innovative. But I'm wondering if the quality is any good...?

Is there someone out there with any experience with this brand? I think the tt bikes look pretty darn fast. I've always been a mainstream Specialized/Trek kinda guy. But I am looking at upgrading, and I don't want to rule out a good value just because the brand doesn't innovate.
Thanks!
