Cyclocross, a growing discipline in North America, traditionally takes place in fall. Closing their racing season on a high note many continue to compete on rough, technical circuits. To face this kind of event, a bike has to be sturdy, reliable, light and comfortable - a challenge that the FANGO faces easily!
Strengths: Steel steel steel. Custom geometry available for a $150 upcharge. That can't be matched.
Weaknesses: I wish they had longer top tubes in their standard geometry for us tall guys.
Bottom Line:
Excellent cx machine. Steel, stiff and lightweight. Every year Marinoni refine their cx frame a little bit more. For '09 they flattened the top tube for easier shouldering. A Canadian handmade racing solution.
