Hi,
Appears to be a Waterford build with True Temper OS tubing. Crummy picture certainly doesn’t justify the price. These ride a little nicer than the Columbus tubed frames. Have to agree with...

Hi,
Give them a call: 503-584-1052. Ask for John Henry or Kirk. Kirk is the manager & hard to get a hold of. John Henry is more attuned to what is available.
