Anyone hear anything good about Opus bikes? The Fidelio in paticular. Thanks,


Cory

Did you get any feedback elsewhere on Opus bikes? I am also looking at the Opus Fidelio but haven't had much success in finding reviews.

Cheers,
David

Well, never did find any reviews, but I trust my LBS and it fit me good so I bought it. So far so good, haven't had any issuses except for the seat, but I'm picky about those. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask

Thanks for the feedback. Like you, I am a mountain biker and am looking for an introductory bike. I like the feel of the Opus and am currently looking at the Fidelio ($1049 Cdn) and Scherzo ($1229). I don't know if I should spend the extra $180 for some better components (derailleur, etc. and clipless pedals). I know you've only had the bike for a short time and you haven't had any issues except the seat, but any minor issues with shifting, etc?
Thanks again.

Only reason I had shifting issuses is because when I bought the bike, it wasn't correctly tuned, but it was easily fixed. It's only been ridden 5ish times with a average distance of 30km, and it's been great. The carbon does really seem to smooth out any rough stuff I encounter. I'm also a big guy (6'0, just over 200) and I haven't had any flex issuses. Great bike for what I paid ($1197CDN with tax) Biggest deciding factor to me over the Scott, a Canadian Company
