Fondriest& Matrix Bikes

[Nic M]

I'm interested to hear what people's thoughts are regarding Matrix (F35) and Fondriest (TF3 1.2) bikes. Thanks

I had a TF3, upgraded to the TF2, loved it. The TF3 is stiff, comfortable, and very good value for money. It is a well known brand, comes with a carbon seat post, etc...also it is very light. Matrix? Is that like another japanese brand?

New Fondriest frames comes with a UCI legal logo, does matrix come with one? I'd rather by a brand named after someone or designed by a previous pro cyclist...that is my opinion....you won't go buy a Geely car now would you, no you'd stick to a VW, Ford, BMW, etc?

Thanks for the comments guys. Appreciate it. How do you guys feel about the Scott Foil?

Foil, far more supreme than the previously mentioned frames.

 

but then again, all of them comes from taiwan.

Good thing then that the Fondriest TF Zero has not been mentioned yet cause that will give the Foil a go!

He said as long as I use Ultegra, Dura Ace or Di2, he would still be smiling!

Believe me, in the begining when I got my TF3 I was like....ah just another bike, but the bike felt awesome! Everything just felt fine, since upgrading to the TF2, I realised wow! I tested a few other bikes before and so far in my honest opinion the Fondriest felt the best for me, however I'd love to try a Specialized SL4, Dogma and Foil.....but my dream bike still is the Cipollini.
