Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, aerodynamic, bling factor, high end components come standard
Cons: Expensive, Limited Color Choices
"This bike is so fast, all you have to do is hang on! OK, well a bit of training would help, but seriously this bike is super aero and coupled with the Zipp 808 wheels, it simply flies. I have been riding this bike for the past 6 months and during that time have won most races I have entered, especially if the conditions are a little bit windy. Riding this bike you cut through the wind and have a huge advantage over other riders. Everything about the bike has been thought through to be optimised for the fastest ride possible. For example it has an aero seat post, the brake levers are small and thin (who needs brakes anyway?!?) and it comes standard with high end components.
It is easy to adjust in that you can move the tri bars around to get the right position. I ride a small and had to cut the seat post down so I could get the seat low enough, but once done and a few extra tweaks, I am really comfortable and can't get enough of this bike. The best part about this bike is it get attention wherever it goes. If you like the spotlight, this bike is for you!"

focus izalco chrono 2009
Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Comfortable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight
"This was my first and very probably my last time trial bike purchase. The reason for this is not because it is a pig in a poke , but because it is a beautiful , svelt , shimmering ,built for speed ,creation that I simply wouldnt want to replace ever, except maybe with another one. I took it for its first outing on tuesday 25th and was immediately mobbed by all the guys who had turned up for our local 10 mile jaunt. Comments like , more money than sense, beautiful bike, look at the kit on that , and its a Walser, were all thrown out, but the point is this bike looks ,rides and handles beautifully, and this is in the hands of a complete novice, who after meticulous research thought that ,if I was going to buy a tt bike I would like one that wouldnt be being replaced in the near future , and had the pedigree that was backed up by pro usage. This coupled with the outstanding value that it represents made this bike a must have item. I handnt intended spending any more than £1500, but when you look at the kit, Zipp 808's, sram reg groupset, 3T ventus handlebars, and then the Walser frame, I just thought that this combo at £3150 was too good to go past, and so I am now the proud owner of what I feel is the best that money can buy ,at the same price that many another tt frame alone would cost."
