I am a measureable degree faster on my Criterium Series than other comparable bikes. There are several factors in the difference, some being weight, gearing, stiffness and geometry. Oh and in most cases much more fun to ride. When I built the bike 4 years ago it led me to end up selling my Trek 460. Yes, these are oldschool and hardcore bikes but it does tell the story. Am I faster on the Trek 760 or Colnago Super? That one has yet to be decided because the Campy NR derailleurs cant handle the 28t FW.

Aint this fun?
