2. I am 6' and weigh 195.
3. I have adjusted the brakes a little looser, but I don't want to go much more. I really don't want to open the releases for downhills.
4. After reading the responses I am certain whether it is the frame or the wheels.
5. If it is the frame, I will examine the chain stay. I will also look at the spoke tension.
its not your bike.i am 6ft 175lbs and ride a scattante xrl frame. it is plenty stiff for sprints and fast climbs.
check the spoke tension on your wheels but my guess is they just dont have what it takes. i would spend $200-$300 and get a set of wheels that have the following:
spokes- 32
hubs- 105 or ultegra
rims-open pro, open sport, cxp33, or cxp22
