Looks nice…buy quite expensieve.

Looks liek they stole the front from an Orbea, the tail from the Felt the dountube from some other bike (can’t remember which).

How much do they want for it?

you will see this frame in many, many guises in 2008/9…think last year and Planet-X
.

Saw it at Speedplay on last Saturday. Nice guy, nice looking bike, but definitely looks like any other Asian “carbon” copy.

How fast can you say Max Lelli Liger? :slight_smile:

That looks nothing like the 07 Stealth.

Well it shouldn’t, cos it’s not. I was referring to the hype surrounding last year’s P-X Stealth…until all the re-badged versions started popping up.

Oh I see.

Only PX was not smoking crack when they came up with their pricing…

it’s a generic open-mold carbon frame from ADK, an asian company. a bunch of companies are selling them as “their own” design. looks a lot like a bad felt DA knock-off. this pic is off the element six website. fyi, the downtube is huge, so were talkin’ a big frontal area. but the frames are pretty cheap.

That head tube just needs to have eyes and a big grin painted on it…

I was thinking more of a Daffy Duck theme with the bill protruding on the lower “lip” of the headtube :slight_smile:

$2699 for some no name frame with no cred or history. Has everyone gone totally nuts!!!

As I said Max Lelli Liger, Fezzari, Suplicy and several others all have that design. But Max Lelli was talked about on cyclingnews as if he is the most amazing new bike designer. :slight_smile:

"“It’s always been a dream for me to have my own name on a bike I created,” said Lelli. “I’ve used all kinds of bicycles in my career, all the top brands, good and not so good. I raced for almost 30 years and I think I learned something about bicycles in that time so I wanted to create my own brand. After all of that riding, I think I even have the bicycle in my soul!”

Has everyone gone totally nuts!!!

nope, not everyone. just the folks that are crazy enough to fork out the $2700 …

Does anybody have a link to the ADK website? Also, which other companies are rebadging this frame?

I kind of get that, but it looks more like the statues on Easter Island.

and a new brand name is born…DeBergerac, n’est-ce pas ?
