Strengths: Forgiving ride but still plenty lively and more than stiff enough when you stomp on the pedals.Weaknesses: Absolutely none.Bottom Line: The Carbonio/Ti is an amazing bike. It has a great balance of lightness (15.5 lbs w/ Dura-Ace), stiffness but also, very comfortable. It really lives up to the billing of being a full carbon bike that feels snappier than a typical carbon ride. I came from riding an aluminum bike w/ a carbon fork, so the difference was huge. I upgraded the wheels from Easton Circuits to Ksyrium SL3 which are great wheels and also complement the look better. Finally, the bike looks amazing in real life. No pictures on the internet do justice to the marble-like effect of the filament wound carbon tubes or the S-shaped seatstays and chainstays. It is a beauty of a bike. It has drawn comparisons to the Colnago C-40 and when you compare the price between the two, although, it's not cheap, it's a bargain compared to the Colnago.
Favorite Ride: All of them
Price Paid:
$4200.00
Purchased At: Mike's
Bike Setup: Full Dura-Ace, LOOK Keo Carbon pedals, Ksyrium SL3 wheels w/ Continental GP 4000 tires, USE Alien Aero seatpost with Selle San Marco Rever Profil saddle (shaved nearly a pound off with that combo over the FSA SLK w/ Selle Italia Trans Am)
