I have a question about them also. New to tri bikes and the site but wondering how you would adjust the seat on them. I saw on the planet x bikes there is a cinch on the bottom of the tube but did not see one on this frame. Is this one you would cut once sized?

the tri bike has an integrated seat post, which means they mold the seat post as part of thd frame. the mold it super long and then when you go in to get fit (which you should prefferably do, especially on no name bikes) the shop can cut the seat tube at the right heigh at put the seat clamp back on the top.

From a quick investigation, they seem to be made by a company called Independence Co. Ltd. in Taiwan.

The TT frames are on ebay because it looks like they discontinued the model. However there isn't an indication of who uses these bikes, where they are generally sold, or whether the company supplies any other major companies.
Although it does look pretty sweet.

Cool, thanks. I have a cannondale I purchased off craigslist for some local sprints and I think its a little small for me. I am thinking of purchasing this and swapping the components if I cant find another bike. I was doing some research and the size 54 frame/geometry seems right, and also know I will need a fit either way. Thanks for the help/input.
