Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Both are great. I like the new Scandium frames. Again it all depends on the builder. It may be same tubeset but the builder is the one that makes the frame what it is.

I've just bought an Altec2 frame made by Casati and am finding the ride to be a lot more forgiving than I expected. When it comes to the hills it's like I've got a new set of legs as well. How do other other Altec2 owners find their ride? Also, what is the difference between A2 and Altec2 Plus?
