Club Rides Bike Setup:
full Campagnolo Record (carbon) - I splurged on this bike (listed price was frame only), but it will be my last bike for a while ("yeah, right," says the wife in the background...). Summary:
This Cinelli (the one with the wide down tube and carbon stays) was the answer to my prayers - I wanted lateral stiffness for when I needed to put the hammer down but a little relief from terrible asphalt roads, and the aluminum frame with carbon seatstays was the answer - I love it, it's a fast bike with just the right comfort. Strengths:
-carbon stays take some pain out of the road without sacrificing lateral stiffness or feeling "dead" like some carbon frames
-quick bike - I regularly ride at the front of my club rides with this thing
-not that important, but noteworthy, is that this bike is really uncommon - it stands out in a crowd, and I regularly get questions on it
-superlight frame - I built it up to 16lbs. Weaknesses:
-italian thread BB (though this meant that I could find NOS BBs cheaper, since they're slightly rarer, so wasn't a problem for me)... Similar Products Used:
