Cheaper Frame Quality

Hey Everyone,

I was looking up get a new frame, but am on a very tight budget. was curious on what you guys thought about the Motobecane Nemesis Tri frame. The frame/fork/headset weights about 2360 grams. I am definitely not a weight weenie, but I don't want to be riding a tri bike that weights as much as my mountain bike.

What do you think?

Haven't heard great things about Motobecane since it's no longer the original company. I'd do your research and go from there.

Better off buying a used frame on ebay.

Good call guys. Now, one more question. What do you guys think about those carbon ebay frames, like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/12KCarbon-Triathlon-TimeTrial-TT-Bike-ISP-Frames...

worth it?

Worth it? Probably not. I'm pretty leery of a company selling a bike with an "ISP" that doesn't have an ISP. Probably still better off buying a used frame from a well-known company.
