at Conte's Bike Shop Bike Setup:
Shimano 105s, Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels and a Specialized Toupe Gel seat. Summary:
Mine is a 2009 model. It came with 105s and I upgraded the wheels and saddle. I chose this over a Specialized Tarmac becasue it felt more responsive and was an equally smooth ride. Strengths:
Climbing, sprinting, precision, excellent price. Full carbon for less than $2K. Weaknesses:
None. Similar Products Used:
Tried a Specialized Tarmac, Roubaix and a Cannondale Supersix.

at Aptos Bike Station, Model Year:
2007 Favorite Ride:
Tour De Tahoe Bike Setup:
Campagnolo drive train with compact crank. Fulcrum Evolution 5 wheel set (terrible wheels). Summary:
The Motirolo is a great climbing bike, which should be obvious, since it gets it's name from one of the toughest climbs in Italy. The frame is all-carbon, but not overly stiff. It's very comfortable to ride over rough roads, yet stiff enough for efficient climbs. Just a few months after I bought it, I completed the Death Ride which has 15,000' of climbing. The Motirolo made it possible. I can compare the Motirolo to my other bikes: a steel-frames Tomassini Sintesi and a carbon-framed Pinarello F3:13. Compared to the Pinarello, the Motirolo is a very comfortable ride, but not as comfortable as the steel Sintesi. The Pinarello is the fastest of the 3 in a straight line Strengths:
Great climbing bike, comfortable ride, yet stiff enough for good acceleration. Weaknesses:
A little heavy at 18.5 lbs (all-in) Similar Products Used:
Pinarello F3:13
