They sell low end low spec bikes. Really they are just a rebadging operation rather than an actual manufacturer.

It will be an acceptable machine for going to the shops on, or if you are just starting out in triathlon it may be ok for a few months, after that you will almost certainley want to upgrade.

if this is the shop you meant, then Mr Sf and myself we both had one each, long long time ago (5 yrs?). We were very happy with them, but of course, didn't have a clue about bikes and was great after some heavy steel montain bikes. We used them for commuting and the occasional mini-excursions. Mine got stolen a year later . What annoyed us though is that the bloke didn't pack them properly and both times the rims got buckled by the time the bikes reached us. And wasn't a long journey either: he is based in Germany, and we were in Vienna.
