Well, after waiting almost five weeks for my custom frame to be built (I had a 57 cm top tube put on my 55cm frame), I finally got it together.
I got 9-speed Chorus, a Wound Up carbon fork, Campy Vento wheels and a Syncros stem among other things. I'm 200 lbs. and I've never climbed like I can on my XL.
Out here in the SF Bay area, we have many challenging hills, so I was able to really give it a test!
I had a Trek 2300 and the difference is incredible.
And I have to say after logging a couple hundred miles this week, it was worth every damn penny!
Ride hard and long!
