the serotta forum explores the darkstar carbon chinese frames

sweet jeebus, something i'm actually interested in on that board!  i haven't been sniffing around about that darkstar rig, but i did wonder about where to get one el-cheepo at the time, and now it looks like there's quite a few of 'em bobbing around out there.  e-bay schmee-bay.  drop shipped from china just like a macbook air.

darkstar carbon 29er

this fucking thing from justin spinelli is so not my usual bag but looking at it makes me wonder.  of course, it's not custom and it's asian; i have no idea how much it is, but i'm sure the exact same frame is available at a fraction of the price if you look around.  it's really neat, though.  very good looking and super sano.  probably comparable to the santa cruz and niner carbon hardtails.  i'd probably get a custom curtlo rigid ss 700c big wheel mountain bike, anyway.
