If they're good enough to be used at the Pro level...they're good enough for me. Since Liberty Seguros disolved, I've seen their top end frame on eBay, with Liberty Seguros decals, very very cheap.

Well it's now just 'Astana Team' actually. A new Swiss company called Zeus Sārl was only yesterday granted the last ProTour berth by the UCI. See the cyclingnews.com story here. Perhaps not surprisingly, with the new team operators being Swiss, they are going with BMC for the bikes.

Active Bay, the Spanish-based company that ran the old Astana-Wurth team (and Liberty Seguros-Wurth before that), was disolved the other day. See the story here.

Haven't seen any reviews, nor can I find one. This is about all that comes up. http://www.cyclingnews.com/tech/200...iberty_bh_davis.

The ProCycling magazine (www.procycling.com) tested Alexander Vinokurov's BH in their August 2006 issue.

Bicycling Australia reviewed the BH Global Concept G2 in their Sep-Oct '06 issue (Robbie in green on the cover). They gave it the thumbs up, saying stuff like "The BH is a bike that looks, feels, and behaves like a pro level contender..." and "My time overall on the BH was a pleasure."
