That's very tempting - how did you find it over the past year? How's the weight (of the bike...)?

Well that didn't stop Cadel Evans winning one of the TT's in the 2007 tour on one that was painted in Ridley colors. Or the world under 23 TT champ (forget the name) who won on one as well (look em up on the web and examine the bikes very carefully, lots of threads on this on forums like weightweenies)

Its an off the shelf Taiwan job (both the TT and the regular road bike), good quality and in the case of the TT, sold under about 15-20 different badges, one of which is planetx.

I fully aware of the work planetx have done and plan to do in the future. I've never seen their road bikes but I have seen their TT bikes.

That being said I think that the stealth needs alot of work to get up to the same levels as cervelos and treks. As do their wheels.

Agreed, its a mile behind the makes you mention, but if you are looking for a cheap TT bike thats good enough to win a pro race, its the best option out there at the moment (pedalforce also sell it). That being said that new Trek is a beaut.
