Summary:
I recently purchased a 2009 OLMO Zeffiro VCT Crome from ERA Ski & Bike Shop, 830 Flory Mill Rd., Lancaster, PA 17601. This is my second OLMO. I also have a 2006 OLMO Zeffiro. The new Zeffiro uses the latest OLMO carbon fiber technology. It has unidirectional high module carbon (T700), Vectran super fiber, Kevlar (for toughness) and Boron/Carbon (for torsional stress) which gives the frame fantastic handling qualities.

I especially like the integrated seat mast. It offers measurable benefits, both in increased rigidity as well as a reduction in weight.

Cornering on the Zeffiro VCT with the integrated seat mast is amazing. Diving into corners is sometimes chancy but this setup gives me confidence that it can handle it smoothly.

The owners of the shop, Greg & Todd Kreider made sure that I was fitted properly because once you cut the seat tube there is no turning back.

The Zeffiro is a very comfortable ride. It has great stability at high speed and is highly efficient when pedaling uphill.

To complete the ride, ERA installed the Dura Ace Di2 electronic component gruppo. I'm in heaven. Most bicycles are evolutionary. This setup is revolutionary!
