    i've been seeing these VISP track frames on ebay and i was wondering if anybody had ridden one and what they thought. i know they're aluminum (i dont care), i know they're made in taiwan (i still dont care), so dont just start spewing all that shit. im wondering how they ride and how they look in person, etc.

    Haha dude you look pretty determined to not hear anything bad about VISPS.
    It's pretty simple. They're cheap. They look cheap, they ride cheap, they are cheap. I've seen two and rode one around the block a couple times. Wouldn't waste my money personally. Leaders are nicer frames and Leaders ain't exactly nice frames.

    Hey if you're still interested in the frames, I just built one up --- http://velospace.org/node/22952

    I knew this thread would reference leader for a comparison.

    A friend built a visp up, stiff as hell and looks pretty clean. Very thin tubing, the shop that built it up said "No curbs or wheelies and you'll be fine". They were actually impressed that the aluminum was so thin, a pretty impressive welding job. Just about the only negative you will get out of this bike is people talking shit about it. So if you are deaf, and dont peruse forums, then you will be more then happy.

    i bought one for my son a month or so ago. the bike is as good or better than any low/mid end frame out there now. it is a really sweet looking frame well built and stiff as hell. for the $$ i don't think you can beat it. pull the trigger and enjoy it
