carerra virigo

The cirigo was just typed wrong, the virigo on the other hand, Id been calling it the wrong name all along without realising haha. As for the lifespan, I know little to nothing about carbon frames, all I know is that when the bike came out it had a lot of critics saying that for under 1k it would be a rubbish frame. I just wanted to make sure I wasnt going to be investing in something that is likely to break or not work right.

It is not likely to break, nor will it "not work right". But it won't be the best performer either. You get what you pay for, a basic carbon frame from an open mould is just that.

The triban is a better spec than the one most people go on about the "3", the frame is based on one that a guy won the french national champs in 2007 i believe and is a good frame although the review was similar to the virago`s stating a softer feel to the frame , the wheels are rs10`s which are good wheels for the price and not the ones on the "3" that are built to a price.
For me if i was spending 1k i would rather get a good alloy frame like a CAAD 10 or a boardman and good kit rather than going for an entry carbon frame.
