Hi, ok, so this model is a couple years out of date, but I have been told that someone is selling a brand new one nearby, question is, is it a total bone shaker?

    Don't really understand the question. Brand new bike = 'total bone shaker'...?

    Weren't you asking about the Aria last week? I can only give you the same answer as I gave back then. Any road bike will only give you a harsh ride if that's how you set it up. Frames are not harsh - setup is.

    yep, that was me. But tracked this machine down and is a great bargain

    So forget about bullsh1t subjective phrases like 'harsh ride' and just go buy it...

    Read some reviews of the thing when it came out. It's a race bike, so don't expect a ride like the Infinito. But looks like it will take a 25mm tyre, so it might not shake all of your fillings out...

    I was drooling over one in Celeste in the local bike shop a couple of years ago. T'was a thing of trouser-stirring beauty.

    cheers, this one in celeste and black, looks awesome


    Can anyone confirm it takes a 25mm tyre?
