Strengths: quality welds & construction, generous headtube length allows higher handlebar position, responsive/stiff frame but fairly compliant vertically so you feel the road but are not jarred by it like a good sports car suspension, superb Lite Tec fork is quite stiff but amazingly dampening, bike descends as if on rails, excellent climber, quick handling but not twitchyWeaknesses: None for me, but this is NOT a relaxed geometry tourer so don't be fooled by the long headtube and upright-ability - perfect for fast club riders who desire a more comfortable upright positionBottom Line: quality Ti frame with racing geometry yet long headtube for comfortable upright position delivers lively, responsive, yet plush ride
Purchased At: LBS
Bike Setup: Litespeed Lite Tec fork, Ultegra 10 triple, Ritchey WCS stem/bars, Cinelli cork wrap, Thomson seatpost, American Classic 350 wheels, Michelin Pro Race tires, Shimano Flight Deck computer, Avocet O2 Air 40M Ti saddle, Speedplay X/1 Ti pedals

Strengths: Build quality, geometry - great for recreational fitness and long recreations rides, ride characteristics - this bike smoothes out all but the worst road surface vibrations. Very stable on decents. Value is also pretty high at less than $1.5K USD for a Ti frame and carbon fork.Weaknesses: None for my purposes, which are mainly recreational and touring type riding. It is not a racer boy type frame, but I will use it for sprint triathlons.Bottom Line: Initial review of Veneto frame and carbon fork built up with previously owned Dura Ace components.
Favorite Ride: Poolesville Loop
Price Paid:
$1495.00
