Favorite Ride:
Lehigh Valley Velodrome

Bike Setup:
Dura Ace group-Oval Concept aero bars, Corima wheels, Ouzo Pro aero fork (44 rake)

Summary:
I was a tad skeptical about a Ti track bike, but after riding the Sortie for a few laps I fell in love. Ti feels just as lively on the track as it does on the road. Very nice handeling bike. Seems to be very light overall.
Overall Looks: ti w/ decals-just enough color to set it off
Welds:beautiful kind of art/ndustrial
Geometry: stable track bike suited for all events
Stiffness: Very stiff due to deminional tubing and compact design.
AERO: Very aero overall with aero tubing and rear wheel tucked in behind seattube cut-out.
Overall: buy this bike is you want a track bike that will never be outclassed.
Exellent inexpensive timed events bike.

Strengths:
Aero design, long top tube, super stiff, looks great, will last forever

Weaknesses:
Tall head tube

Similar Products Used:
