at ediscountbike on e-b Favorite Ride: Anything with climbs. Bike Setup: VeloRazzo Vincitore frame, full Campy Record, Wilier full carbon fork, Cane Creek headset, Ritchey bar and stem, Campy Record pedals, Rolf Sestriere wheels, 39 X 53 chainrings, 11-23 cassette. Summary: I bought the VeloRazzo frame on e-bay. 7005 aluminum with carbon seat stays. I was riding a $2500 Wilier K2 frame and fork that the carbon started cracking on, and they would not warranty it. I was on a tight budget, and thought I would give the VeloRazzo a try. Can't beat $179.00. Built it with full Campy Record from the Wilier piece of crap. WOW!! What a difference. This frame is stiffer than the Wilier, and handles much better. Great smooth welds, and no issues building it up. This bike climbs like no other bike I have owned. As soon as I come across a spare $200, I'm probably going to buy another frame just to have in case I would crash this one. It's that good. Strengths: Stiffness. Accelerates and climbs like no other bike out there. Weaknesses: Stiffness. Even with the carbon seat stays, you still feel some road vibration. But the bike's efficiency is worth it. Similar Products Used: Giant TCR Zero, full Campy Chorus.
Wilier K2 Karbon, full Campy Record.

at ebay/ediscountbike.c Favorite Ride: Velorazzo Bike Setup: I use a carbon fiber fork and a mix of midline Shimano 105, Campy Veloce, Tektro, and other no-name parts, and along with the matching Velorazzo/Alex DA16 wheelset that ediscount bike had, it's 18-20 lbs. Summary: Interesting frame! Didn't see much in the way of reviews when I got it last winter, but now after using it a bit I can write one up.
This is made very nicely, and has a tight, aggressive geometry and a relatively lower bottom bracket, at least on the 50cm version I have. 170mm cranks don't appear to be a problem, though I use it for triathlons and time trials and general riding, not criterions.
The seatpost size is 27.0, and the headset is 1" - not as common, but not unobtainable. The bottom bracket is 68mm, and like another reviewer I had a problem getting the BB on - I tried forcing mine, but it wouldn't go. For a small price (10.00), the folks at REI 'chased' the threads, and all was well - so there may be a common defect to watch for. I did notice that the paint chips easy, but since Specialized put out a similar color and I was also able to get matching touch up paint. The folks at REI noted that the dropouts seemed suspiciously familiar, and this frame may have been made by one of the larger shops that make frames for many different companies. The largest practical tire size to use is 23c - the rear is pretty tight-I was able to sqeeze a 25c in, but it was to close to the seat tube to use without rubbing.
This frame feels fast and responsive, and it certainly stands out both on the road and in a triathlon transition area -
I have no way to verify that this was made from 'genuine' dedadaccia tubing or is a well crafted fake, but it's has held up for numerous weekend rides and a couple of sprint triathlons (I do notice some BB creak on standing climbs) This frame is very light, so be careful- I got a nice ding in it when it fell over in the garage. Strengths: Light weight, fast geometry, bright blue color. Weaknesses: paint may chip, there may be quality issues with the threading Similar Products Used: Univega road bike

at ediscount Favorite Ride: any i can walk away from Bike Setup: zellorazzo frame carbon fork. selle gel, ritchey wcs post, itm spider stem, profile tri bars, syntace c2 aerobar utegra drive train and brakes, Look pedals, velosity deep v rims.. verenstein 23c tires. (constant 28 mph (zoom zoom) Summary: frame for the $49.. nothing comes close. The tubing is so fat.. it dont flex.. any flexion mentioned is either from wheels imprperly tentioned or headset not prperly inserted. I built this after destroying my road bike earlier this summer. All altegra 6500 drive train and brakes velosity deep v hubs and rims. under 18 lbs under $1000 (tri setup very fast) Strengths: cheap cheap,strong. compact. (havent had any problems intalling anything. Weaknesses: doesnt come with cable guide. PITA to find. paint.. not laser graphics.. but my last bike was plain yellow and the frame was 800. If i scratch this up Ill have it powder coated and still be way ahead. the geometry of this bike is very agressive. If you dont want to really lean into the bike then dont get this frame. Similar Products Used: never used a short frame before,...

at eDiscountbike (eBay) Favorite Ride: Old Oregon Trail Bike Setup: Velorazzo Vincitore 7005 aluminum frame, Bontrager Race X Lite carbon fork, Campagnolo Veloce triple 9 speed drivetrain, Campy Chorus brake calipers, Ambrosio Balance rims with Michelin Megamium tires, Easton EC70 carbon seatpost, Sette Gel Titanium saddle, Sette bars and stem. Summary: I didn't notice any reviews for the Vincitore model Velorazzo, so here are my impressions:
I just returned to cycling this year in an effort to get into reasonable cardiovascular shape (I'm 48) and was riding an '80's vintage Peugeot Bordeaux that I had purchased some years ago. I kinda caught the bug, and decided it would be fun to build my a fast road bike from the frame up. I am on a somewhat limited budget, so when I saw the Vincitore (7005 aluminum) available at such a reasonable price, I jumped at the opportunity. I wanted Campagnolo components (tradition!) and wanted to do as much of the work myself as possible. I live in Western Oregon near Mt. Hood, so decided on a triple chainring setup. I successfully built the bike, using a bike shop only to install the headset and cut down the fork. Have put approx. 100 miles on the bike so far, very happy with the handling and "feel". I ride 3-5 times a week, and the bike fills my needs very well, so far. Will post an update down the road when I get a few more miles on it, if anything warrants it. Strengths: Very inexpensive, Chinese robot produced welds are clean, seems to be well made. Weaknesses: Paint and graphics not up to more expensive bike standards, heavier than more expensive frames. (56 cm frame 4lb 6 oz. frame only, right at 6 lbs. with the carbon fork, headset, and stem installed). Similar Products Used: 80's Peugeot Bordeaux steel framed roadbike.
