Strengths: Smooth ride
Light weight
Great build qualityWeaknesses: ExpensiveBottom Line: I bought this after 7 years on my custom built steel bike and have been thoroughly satisfied. It was expensive but the improvement has been incredible. It is light, has a smooth ride and the campy group set works flawlessly. I definately make the same choice again. Not the bike for a criterium but perfect for centuries and more

from milan, italyDate Reviewed: March 31, 2003
Strengths: Ride quality and comfort. A really fast ride.Weaknesses: NothingBottom Line: Great frame which is a nice compromise in terms of weight, stiffness and ride quality. Great for long rides and races.
The lateral stiffness is average - on par with a lightweight steel frame and definitely more flexy than aluminium. However, this is largely true for all Ti frames and I knew this going into the purchase so I am not disappointed.
It was my first time on Titanium and I wasn't disappointed. It rode so smoothly, climbed brilliantly, accelerated quickly and just soaked up all the bumps really well.
I road a Cannondale CAAD 7 and definately preferred the Extralight.
Favorite Ride: road
