This is basically my old Condor Fratello just with new frameset, this one actually fits me! I think it looks pretty good for a winter bike, I like a horizontal top tube :) the top tube is 57cm which is perfect for me at 6 feet tall, I am so glad I bought this frameset (only cost £150 for brand new frame, forks and headset) it has only done a single 30 mile ride so far but I can say it feels stiffer and lighter than my old Condor Fratello. As it stands in the picture with the pump, lights, saddlebag etc it is 10.1kg which is pretty good for a loaded winter bike.

    Can't go wrong with a proper frame pump, beats struggling to get to 90psi with a little hand pump in the cold :) After riding this bike to work today I am considering selling my summer carbon bike, it's not like I'm gonna win any races on it anyway, plus I will win brownie points for taking up less space in the garage :)

    just wrong. It just means your carbon bike needs upgrading as it isn't special enough :)
