Hi all,
first post here :)
Some info: I'm 5'7, 155lbs. Current bike is a 19-year old Marinoni Columbus SL, Record-C. It's been great, but I'm getting back into serious cycling and want to get a good replacement. So I was looking at putting together something like:
Fondriest Carb Level Plus or Carbon Magister
Campy Record or Chorus
Neutron wheels
Still undecided about stem/bar/saddle/seatpost combinations: are the new wing shaped bars that much better, or are they just fashion?
Has anyone taken a ride on the new Carbon Magister? Looks great, and is a lot less expensive than the TF1...
You can tell from my last bike buy that I'd like something that will last more than a few seasons. I don't plan on racing, but I still want something light and responsive.
Any input is appreciated :)
