from philaDate Reviewed: March 20, 2003
Strengths: Ultra light, thin, stiff mag/aluminum tubing. No flex, and aggressive geometry makes the Millennium extremely responsive and still stable at high speed.Weaknesses: Coppi skimped on the clear coat finish (typical Italian framemaker). I added 8 coats of clear and rubbed it out for a deep, very tough finish- too bad you have to do that with a $2500 frameset.Bottom Line: I had ridden a Cannon cad3 for about 15,000mi. and wanted something more high end. This is my first nonproducion frame (there is a big difference) and it's incredibly responsive. If you turn your head it turns. There is absolutely no give in the bottom bracket, touch the pedals and it jumps. Aggressive geometry; 74 deg. set tube, short top tube, and a modified compact rear triangle makes the frame a real Ferrari. This was the first frame with Columbus Starship tubing to be listed at under 1000g. My 54cm's actual wgt came in at 1220g. If I had wanted comfort I would have gotten a Lightspeed.
