Fran2537 - thanks for your purchase. I trust you are enjoying your le Champion.

There are two versions of this bike which both use the Variable Butted Kinesium Aluminum frame. Kinesis is the largest frame maker in Asia. Almost every brand you see uses some Kinesis frames on some models.

Kinesis makes most frames in China; and a some number in the upper end shop in Taiwan.

The le Champion models use their top frame from the Taiwan factory. Le Champion is Ultegra group and le Champion Team is Dura Ace. Both use the top end Ritchey Protocol wheelset. We have had great luck with these wheels.

Customers tell us the le Champion is rather quick in handling and sprints without having an overly harsh ride.

If you ever need anything on your bike, service or peices, just let me know.
