I have a few questions. I am a bicycle technician myself but am a little iffy on asking.

The 1999 RX100 grouppo. Is it the exact same as a 1999 105SC grouppo except it doesnt have that shiny polished finish. Is that the only difference or are there any mechanical differences.

Also are Miele Road Bikes any good. Anyone heard of them.. I know they went outta business but did they make a good bike.

Also any opinions on the Columbus SL tubing.

I ask because for $1200 CDN i can get a Miele Invictus Bicycle (my boss owned Miele (hes Jim Miele) but i need opinions on them) Im getting it at dead cost so thats why its cheap


It has the Columbus SL frame (CRMO). It has the Full 1999 RX100 grouppo with 105 Head Set. Its got crap wheels to start but I will throw on some mavics and some Vredstein tires right after. So in total itll probably be like 1400bux Canadian dollars. Please answer all my questions if possible.

Two of the guys in a group ride I do a couple of times a month ride Miele bikes. Not sure which model. They have had them a few years and have no complaints. One of the guys also has a Trek 2300 and the other guy has a Cannondale Silk Road and a Specialized.
If they alternate with these other bikes the Miele must be good and the ride must be comfortable.
