6 years ago I had a similar steel frame bike (Duell), which I replaced for a brand new aluminium/carbon frame. It never felt as good and solid as my steel bike.
It probably had to do with the fact that the new bike wasn't top of the line.
This one is, although a few years old. It feels like 10 times better.
hence...this also explains my Nickname.
Ooh nice stuff! I've always wanted a quality steel frame but that's usually reserved for the touring/trekking market. Judging from the frame you're well north of 1.8m, right? Damn tall Europeans.
Still waiting for my mountain bike to return from the police impound. Some uncouth individual stole it only for the police in the town over recover it a few days later. Rider is in police custody but they're still hanging onto it for evidence. It's been well over two weeks now so I've been having to call the police every couple of days! Should all be over soon.
Bought some Honda parts in the meantime. A new dipstick to replace the old broken one - happened before my ownership, I swear - and a new exhaust tip to replace the one I crumpled when I backed it my car into a low brick wall. Thank God it's relatively inexpensive.
I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
