at E-Bay Favorite Ride:
Tilt-a-Whirl Bike Setup:
The components: Campy Record cranks, BB, carbon Record 10-Speed rear-d and carbon Record brake lever/shifters, carbon Record seat post, Campy Daytona calipers and front-d. Proton wheels. German crome-plated brrring bell. Polymer-coated playing cards in spokes. Handle bar tastles - black. Summary:
Columbus Airplane with Columbus Muscle carbon fiber seat/chain stays and fork. Spectacular welds. Every Ounce of power from the cranks goes directly to the wheels and the road.
The price: quite a deal from a long-time seller on EBay in Michigan.
The angles on the frame exude classic Italian craftsmanship...long top tube and slightly relaxed seat tube. A climber's dream.
It's possible the company had gone out of business. If you can get your hands on one at a reasonable price, I suggest you don't think twice. Strengths:
see above Weaknesses:
Like many frames with aluminum tubes, the bottom bracket creaks a bit when I get out of the saddle and stand on the cranks. Similar Products Used:
