Strengths: Everything is superb, the ride is responsive quick steering and yet utterly assured.The bike has no failings except the rider!! Poshbikes interpreted my wishes totally and I have matched all my posture settings from my bespoke French bike without a hitch.Recommended without reservation
Weaknesses: People think you are loaded, they dont realise that Storck make affordable frames as well as stratospherically expensive ones. Consequently one may be seen as a bit of a poseur rather than actually a bargain hunter!
Bottom Line:
Storck Scenario 1.1 in black with stilleto Aero fork, Campag Centaur carbon groupset, Campag Neutron wheels, Syntace carbon seatpost, Oval stem,Zipp contour carbon bars San Marco Mantra saddle and Conti 400S tyres.
Strengths: After dreaming and seeking for 4 years since I discovered and fell in love with Markus Storck's talent, style, and design the stars finally lined up.
Incredibly LIGHT (my 59cm with everything on it - Garmin, bag, tools, cages, etc. - only weighs about 17 lbs!
(Storck makes the lightest bike on the planet. He is the first carbon bike creator.)
STRONG: Look at the stilleto race fork and tubes and you can see that Markus is serious. I explode in sprints in or out of the saddle. Whereas I felt zero to 30mph was ok on the flats, my new steed prefers around zero to 40mph on the flats and smiles at my 50+ mph downhilling (and the Mavic R-SYS wheelset complements it beautifully with it's lightness, strength, and smoothness).
STABLE: Not jittery at all, especially now that I've adjusted to the more forward and aero racing position of the sloping setup (from my Felt 60cm standard).
SEXY: The Racing Red is Extreme, and Storck has been adding more colors to their lineup.
HEADTURNER: The ride no one else in my race or ride has, but they are free to covet it, heh heh. For the Unique afficionado with patience and luck to finally land one.
RARE!
Weaknesses: None
Bottom Line:
Storck Scenario C1.2: My 4 year dream fulfilled!
Worth a 2nd mortgage, heh heh!

-------------
Flies like a light strong fast phoenix on steroids. Accelerates and corners on a dime. Leaves them wondering where you just went. Sexy, Rare, Uncompromising, and the wonders of serious German engineering passion and the brilliance of Markus (Storck): An Einstein of our cycling world.

Speedplay X/2s (I woud have gone with zeros but my other bike has x/2s and they are fine.
FYI: The Sppedplays are Great to help alleviate any former knee issues with the large platform Shimano DuraAce pedals for me. Primo on cornering as well.
Strengths: faultless finish and unbeatable vfm throughout the storck range of frames.
bomb proof quality,very easily builds into useable safe lightweight machine with few if any peers.
Weaknesses: lack of recognition thus very high depreciation
Bottom Line:
light but not at the expense of stability on long fast decents and very responsive when out of the saddle without being either harsh or twitchy.
I am 6'5" and 190 lbs. This bike handles my weight well and provides a solid ride with little vibration and noise. My favorite frame so far. I ride 150-200 miles weekly.
Strengths: This is one of the lightest frames on the market. It flies up the hill and unlike the Giant it is stable at speed down hill also. It is also very quick in a sprint. The initial acceleration is very good.
Weaknesses: None
Bottom Line:
Light, quick, very stable. Great up and great down. Every time I come home from a ride I am fired up to be able to ride this bike. It is about the same price as a Trek 5900 and even lighter. I haven't ridden a Scott CR1, but from what I've heard it is a very similar ride.
Since the moment I first layed eyes on a Storck bike I have always wanted one (you can check them out at [url]www.storck-bicycle.de[/url]). The one I really like is the Scenario Ca Read More »
