Anyone seen or used Pro Lite kit? I have a Pro Lite fork on my roadie - seems pretty good, was gonna look at a frame too:

Just a thought....seems like a good geometry frame to me.

    No personally usage but saw plenty of people racing on their cyclo-cross offerings last season. Not sure if they've been reviewed anywhere tho.
    SC61.10a: FCN 3, with clip-on guards for winter
    Uncle John: FCN ?? knobblies, or 'fat' slicks n guards

    If you haven't tried these things, you should.
    These things are fun, and fun is good.

    Recommended :) (Shimano parts brand) Fitted some pro bars recently which were a £20 bargain from parker int'l..

    They're 44cms and nice drop/shape (not compact) weigh in at claimed 260grammes

    Oversized feel very stiff when climbing and out of saddle.. although comfortable not much buzz with deda tape.

    No they aren't. Shimano's parts brand is Pro, not Pro-Lite.

    I have Pro-Lite Giovanni forks and Cuneo frame. Both are fine. The frame is pretty light for the money, and seems rigid enough compared to the steel raleigh which it replaced.

    Campag groupset [compact double 2 x 10 speed] and the whole bike weighs 21 lbs accordion to the bathroom scales. Blokes at work were surprised how light it was. I got it 2nd hand via fleabay, so only paid £280.

    The frame material is 7046 Alloy, which I believe is Pro-Lite's own recipe [but don't quote me].

    HTH,

    Yes WAIH I stand corrected ... Pro are Shimano - Who's Pro-lite then?

    Have seen Pro-Lite forks on the Tri and Run branded bikes. Don't know what they're like, mind.
    FCN 2-4.
