Honestly, it's probably my favorite bike. It FLIES and is super light. I think I prefer it to my 1985 Bianchi Specialissima (all Campy), 2000-something Bianchi Eros (all Campy) and 1979 Trek 910 (Campy-less). The stiffness of frame clearly transfers energy to the wheels. I have a hunch some day in the not too distant future the thinking on these bikes will come around the true worth will be reflected in prices. Full disclosure, though. I don't go on very long rides so it doesn't get to really punish my body. Here's the infamous seat post (no problems to date). But nobody answered my question about the cable going through the frame. Please look online. I dare you to find another example with this construction detail. What gives?
