As above. Looks lovely, anyone have any experience of this, and whether the premium's worth it?!

Looks stunning in the red, now available in black for disk brakes.

Worth it for high level racing, hmmm, maybe not, better off buying two frames and having a pit bike. All other scenarios, then yes IMO.

Only you can answer if it's worth it - for me no, I loved my Ritchey Logic road bike, but I got it cheap, and ultimately sold it for what I got it for, it's replacement cost less SH and lost me 600gm!

They are very nice but also very pricey. Made in the same place as steel Singulars.

I guess I like the idea of enjoying my bike's ride as well as appreciating the aesthetic of it, plus having something that feels (to me at least) a wee bit special. Function and form and all that!

Love riding mine, it's just plain sweet to ride.
Looks pretty damn good too

Damn pretty things. Guess you have to want one to get one?
Too expensive for a runaround steely when you can get a Kite.
Too heavy for racing when you can get a frame half that weight.

A nicely built one looks great, a 'put together' one looks like a cheap old gas pipe made bike.
