I have one. Which one are you looking at? They are a German make but the cheaper ones are made in Taiwan IIRC.

I find the Race Lector 7000 to be stiff and twitchy, probably because the tires are at a high pressure (max 145 psi) but it's feather light, strong, solid, and fast. It's built for speed and climbing was a bit of a struggle. I wish it had a few extra gears for really tough slopes.
