Hard to say. I had not ridden my Masi for about 8yrs and sold it. It was too painful with arthritis to ride. Yes it was properly fitted to me, but still caused unending hand pain. I think I recall an avg cruising speed at my best fitness wsa 14mph. Now on my pain free Giro 700, I am approaching a 14mph avg. Not bad considering the Giro is about 15# heavier...and I am at least a decade+ older.
