VSF Fahrrad Manufaktur TX Randonneur frames

[chocjohn9]

Hello and Happy New Year.
Does anyone know anything about these frames??? Are they any good??? No one ever seems to recommend them. Dead silence...

http://www.fahrradmanufaktur.de/katalog ... uct_id=635

I note that they are made of "25 CrMo 4". What does this mean in English??? I am very familiar with Reynolds, so where do you think this fits in???
I also know that they are hardly available in the UK (a bad sign or saturated market?) although Chris's Bikes in Cambridge stock them.

Geos??? The sizes jump in 5cm increments. Goodness!!!

Any help with extra FRAME ONLY knowledge would be appreciated.

Cheers. John

I think they represent good value for money.
If they had had a retail outlet closer to me I would have been very interested instead of the dawes.
