Yeah, I know, not really. But bear with me.
I've done most of my riding this spring. on the Gitane Super Corsa I built up over the winter. It's not any lighter than some of my other bikes, nor geared differently. But I can push higher gears up hills on it and seem to just plain ride faster.
Today I did two ten mile loops. The first was early in the morning, well rested, on a Viscount Aerospace Pro. The second was late afternoon, also well rested, on the Gitane. Both bikes have computers calibrated to their actual wheelsets rather than off a chart. The Gitane was a full two minutes faster over the same route.
What gives? Magic? Perfect fit? Head games?
