Bought this bike Saturday, rode it for the first time Sunday. 2008 model. Wheelset is HED Ardennes Flamme Rouge. Components are Shimano DuraAce 7800.

I don't see many Kuota road bikes here in Canada, I assume they are more popular in Europe. Anyone have one, can share experiences.

Thanks

    I have a 2008 KOM with spinnergy pbo spoked wheels dura ace g/set. It rides superbly climbs really wel and is very comfy even on the longest of rides.

    Agritubel rode them in last seasons TdF and won a stage so I'm sure they're up to any kind of abuse you or I could give them.

    Quite a few people I know have Kuota bikes various models (I also have a Kharma) which is also a superb ride, that has Easton ea90 wheels on it.

    Ride and enjoy cervelo-van. :D

    Have a Kredo Ultra and its the best Frame Ive ever owned (including Colnago, a Bianchi, a Canyon, an Orbea and an old Kuota Ksano which I was stupid to sell ), just a really good all rounder. Will try and dig out some pics. Its the only one round here too apart from the Spanish rider on the Agritubel team who trains round here...
    Fitter....healthier....more productive.....

    I've got a Kharma - fantastic bike. If I ever come to want another carbon bike, Kuota will probably be the route I go down again. You don't see that many in the UK either - which is another reason I like it so much.
    Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos
