This frames follows the Storck typical design and the perfect engineering of the Fascenario 0.7. Due to the attractive 12K Carbon Fibres the frameset (with new Stiletto Race SL) realizes even higher results in rigidity.
Frame: ca. 890g (57cm)
Set weight: ca. 1300g
Features:
Storck Carbon VVC Process Technology / Proportional Tubing / Sloping Top Tube Geometry / Integrated Headset System / 1 1/8 inch / Super Size Chainstays / Carbon Rear Entry Dropout with changeable Hanger / Bottom Bracket BSA 68mm / Seat Post Size 31,6mm / Frame Weight appr. 890g / 12K Fibre
Strengths: - Super light bike (56 @ 14.5 w/ those Zipp-CSC club wheels).
- Very smooth, plush ride (cadillac...)
- SRAM Red shifters take some aclimation..
- Very light bike.....
- Fluid power transmission (no waster here)
- Fork was the Aero Stilletto model (stiff/good control (think BMW on the Autobahn, no twiches..)
- Again this IS very light bike....
Weaknesses: - If anything, I did not like the steering, while rock solid, it was way too reserverd for my likes. Maybe it cuts perfect likes at 50mph on a descent, but that's only once every few rides. If you want a quicker feeling ride, this is not your bike (i.e. crit racing...).
- I would rather rode with a Dura-ace equiped bike, did not like the feel of the brakes hoods (to low) on the SRAM Red or the shifting...
- A lot of $$$ ($3200 for frame); there may be better options out there for less...
Bottom Line:
Demo'ed the 2008 model which had the SRAM Red group. Very high end ride, it weighted 14.5 lbs. The ride was very smooth over bus/cracks in Pave. A Storck bike would be a perfect "dream" bike if $$$ was not object. You get what you pay for....
