Token 9827 Corsa frameset

Price Paid:  $0.00 at Procyclingdiscount.c

Favorite Ride:
Fast Crit with an uphill finish

Bike Setup:
Token Corsa frameset with Record build. Token T1 wheelset, stem and bar, seatpost. Fizik saddle.

Summary:
I have been riding this bike for a little over a year. I was racing fairly well, but my previous ride lacked snap. The Corsa has a beefy front end that really takes the abuse of a hard sprint. Feels very stable in the corners as well. Looks great as you can see from pictures, though most only get to see the rear view of mine :-)

Strengths:
Very stiff, beefy front end. Great looks and high quality finish (internal cable routing, 12K weave, great paint. Very noticeable and original

Weaknesses:
A bit heavy in this day and age of super-light-weights, but weight is not as important as stiffness and stability in a sprint. Climb for show, sprint for dough.

Price Paid:  $0.00

Favorite Ride:
Token TK9827MQ

Summary:
Amazing light frame for a fair price. This frame is great, it's light and stiff at the same time. I am not a sprinter but I felt a huge difference compared to my old frame bc. the frame responses real quick and you always fell in control during a sprint.

Strengths:
weight and stiffness

Weaknesses:
none

Price Paid:  $0.00
