With a retail value of $1895 for the frameset alone, this was a significant hit.
I have a frameset with a carbon fork and have noticed shimmy at speeds around 35 mph, mostly on long straight downhills.
Understandably, in most cases this will not pay for itself, especially on an older frameset.
Of course, they sell a frameset that is, according to them, triple compatible.
The frameset has begun production, and will be available in two sizes, regular and long, and two colors, blood red and black.
That dream was almost realized, but sluggish sales forced Sampson to scale-back in production and stick solely to producing high-end road framesets.
Capable of 24 ‘and 26 ‘wheelsets this frameset would handle any big drop or stair gap you would throw at it.’
Don't let the lightweight frameset fool you - it sees larger diameter tubing (top and down tubes) in 2002, which can handle the larger forces of a full 4-inch-travel fork.
I purchased a shim reducer to allow the seatpost to fit in the frameset.
The frameset is made of aluminium Scandium (the same material normally used by Team Cofidis) and has been conceived to allow the best degree of air penetration.
If you have an aluminium or carbon fiber frameset, watch out for chainsuck.
