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

Don't know what exactly you are talking about here, but I'm guessing the seatbag. My response if that is the case: whatever.

I don't know why someone would feel compelled to say that about your bike, but maybe the orange tape had something to do with it

Just grabbed this a few weeks ago, rides like a dream and no problems yet... Can't believe I got a carbon bike (fuji frame) with ultegra for this price!! So far extremely happy with the performance house brand

So far really smooth, only had a couple of instances of having to coax it into gear. I like the triple though, despite all the negative press...

ive got no need for anything more than a 39/53 11-23 combo but i fully understand why some prefer a triple over a compact double.

frame size

Scattante XRL Comp Road Bike Frame

I am 5'11 and feel comfy on 58cm but
Scattante XRL Comp Road Bike Frame is either 57cm or 60cm. No 58cm. I have 56cm trek and it doesn't fit me.I am afraid 57cm is too close to 56cm and 60 seems too big.

Any advise? They have this on sale $199 frame+fork
