| Extra details |
The frame, in common (I'm told), with many sixties
frames has no braze-ons whatsoever, which is a good excuse to use lots
of lovely Campa guides. The stays are extremely chunky. It does ride
better than anything else I have, arrow straight, very stable and feels
quick but not twitchy. That may be down to the rim and tyre combination
(my latest pet theory is that the feel of a bike is determined more by
the wheels than anything else). |
