This metallic chrome Festka is the one I would like to hang on my wall. Hyper-cool.

Also - for anyone who cares - there will be a new series of Carbon frames/One series sometime later this year..

Any info on what the changes will be on the new series of One frames? Or timeframe?

I've ridden both, both feel good. It obviously boils down to which material you prefer.

I have an Asphalt LT, it's lighter than a standard Asphalt but they don't list it in their catalog... It was featured on CycleEXIF a while ago. I like the ride of it equally to my Colnago Extreme Power, so it's not a noodle.

Is there an update on ride impressions of Festka One?

I am looking at building a custom Parlee Z-zero or a custom Festka One.

I seek the same smooth ride quality if not better than my Cannondale Supersix Hi-Mod EVO and Synapse Hi-Mod, but with the uphill acceleration these light, stiff frames provide.

Would love to hear an update!

Sadly no help from me. I'm also in doubt but that's either the ONE or something way cheaper. I must admit I really have a haaaard time imagine that you can feel any difference at all. I've only ridden carbon colnago and carbon no name china, and I felt absolutely no difference. Same stiffness, lightness and responsiveness. Only difference was the price tag. I also looked at the ONE frame last year but it seems like the starting price has increased by 500€ this year :-(. Their paint jobs are amazing but you can always get a nice paint job.

You're kidding me if you can't tell a difference in how you feel when you're stepping your foot over a generic no-name carbon frame or a tailor-made Festka...

If he can't feel the difference then paying for a Festka seems a bit of waste of an investment! I find that the Supersix EVO rides better than my C60, but both loose out to my Parlee Z-Zero Disc!

Festka is on my list ...

You are not reading that well. I compared a cx-1 with a hongfu/avenger where I have owned both and several hongfu/avenger. The hongfu was lighter had the same stiffness and steering abilities. However I'm hoping festka is better than both that's why I'm also considering getting one. I'm just trying to put things in perspective. You are paying more that four times the price. But I'm stopping here it's a nothing discussion in that :-).

And I actually like the ride feel of my C60 more than the Supersix EVO. Different strokes for different folks...
That's why there are so many wonderful bikes to choose from.
Speaking of which, took out my '96 vintage DeRosa Primato yesterday - what a wonderful ride.
It only hurts if you think.
