Viathon R.1 Road Performance, Shimano 105 Components, Hydraulic Disc Brakes
-870-gram size 54 frame, with derailleur and water bottle mounting hardware
-Oversize tapered head tube and bottom bracket for precise handling and pedaling efficiency
-Pro-level performance at a fraction of the cost
-Shimano 105 components deliver affordable refinement
-Knight alloy wheels deliver speed and durability
-Internal cable routings reduce aerodynamic drag
-Zipp Service Course alloy bar and stem offer precision and strength
-Clearance for 28mm tires
For $1400 bucks, that sounds pretty impressive!
Not sure why the complete bike is $100 less than the frame alone, though.

Sold out in 105.
But not a bad option if the frame checks out. Looks like the front end is pretty stiff though.
2200 for a sub 17 lb bike isn't bad at all imho

I would assume this is not the case for their framesets.

Woah, sounds like a really good deal. I guess they want to go for volume and profit of the current bike boom.
The internal cable routing really surprised me, many known brands with even more expensive models don't do this fully on all models.
