Road Cycling - My new bike

A few weeks ago I got my new bike from "wrench science".
It's a wonderfull ride, and I wanted to share it's beauty with you.
The pictures are far from doing it justice.

Wow... that's a sweet bike. Tell us about the chainstay area. are the stays also Al or Ti? I notice they seem to be inserted into lugs in the BB. Is that true or just a pigment of my imagination due to the difference in colour? Also, the bolt-assembly between the dropout and the carbon seat-stays... is it a pivot like the ones in the stays of some Merlin bikes or is it simply just for joining the carbon seat-stays to the dropouts in a fixed position?

The chainstays are Al, covered with some matte silver stuff. There are no lugs in the BB, just a round smooth attachment of the tubes. As to the dropout and seat-stays assembly, I'm not sure, but I think it's just a fixed join.

Very nice :thumbup:

Sharp looking bike!

Were you happy with "Wrench Science"?

My first nice road bike was a ciocc mockba 80 and still have a warm place in my heart for them...thats a beautiful ride, congrats

That is a great looking bike. Know you will have fun putting lots of miles on it.

Very sweet ride from a classic Italian builder! Should have gone with components to match that headset though :)

SHIMANO ON AN ITALIAN FRAME? YOU SHOULD BE SHOT! just kidding. :D:D: dura-ace is really good, and thats a gorgeous bike. How do you pronounce the name though? "chi-oss"?

Damn, I can't wait till I get a real job and actually have MONEY! Anyway, nice bike, how's she ride?

I was quite happy with wrench science. Their service was prompt and mannerly. There were some minor mismatches between the order and the actual delivery, but they are correcting it.

Campy is great, although quite expensive. More importantly, I'm used to and prefer the shimano gear shifting system.

I heard different opinions, "choach", "chioch", "chiok", but the most convincing is "chu(r)ch" (without the r). (note the dots above the o).

The ride is smooth, very stable at any speed and at cornering, and quite light for climbing.
