The Campagnolo components are wonderful, quick, quiet, smooth and reliable. The only limits on the performance of this bike are those I impose by not being in prime riding condition. There are lighter bikes, but I believe this bike performs as well as the best, ceteris paribus. For the money, this bike offers good performance and quality. Weight wimps, caveat emptor.
Riders seeking durability and performance, buy with confidence.
Nice components, Columbus Brain tubing, nice rims, decent saddle, nice finish. A very nice ride. I have taken it out on my usual two hour trip around San Rafael and China Camp in Marin County. The bike was very stable going up and down hills, as well as slicing well through the wind. On a straightaway, it's as smooth as silk.
