Here is my Moda Stretto

18 months old and hasn't missed a beat. I was nervous about buying a bike that was almost unknown, but can safely say that it is a great bit of kit!

It needs a wheel true, but other than that it has performed faultlessly.

The only change I've made is to the saddle, I found the Barelli saddle it came with really uncomfortable and have replaced it with a Selle Italia Max Flite Gel Flow. Still stuggling with this a little and am going to test a fi'zi:k from my LBS.

On its own in the shop and with my other bikes at home.

    These do look a really neat bike don't they, especially given the price. Hope you enjoy it.
    It’s the most beautiful sport in the world but it’s governed by ***ts who have turned it into a crock of ****.

    I rode one of these at a LBS I used to work at, I found it it to be a pretty good ride. Very stable and predictable handling. I am a big led and a sprinter and I struggled to flex the frame, but there was a small hint there but nothing to wite home about.

    I didn't like the wheels, i found them a bit flexy but then again I am a big lad.

    That said it's a good bike, I'd race it :D
    Obsessed is a word used by the lazy to describe the dedicated!

    I love that bike, I was so tempted by one and I'm pretty sure my next bike will be a moda.
    I just love my current bike so much at the moment otherwise I'd be on the stretto now.
