[MENTION=431307]Dean51[/MENTION] I won't beat you up for that statement. I've hit a bit of a ceiling that's partially space-related and partially Davidson Impulse-related. Thus, I continue to be on the slow-yet-deliberate path of getting tall bikes and framesets, and components to new loving homes. I was planning on riding my Masi Nuova Strada tomorrow for work and a longer after-work set of trips but, I would be bummed as I wouldn't be riding the Impulse. Why this bike has so captured me in the face of a number of stellar bikes (the Masi included) is beyond me. Alas, here we are.
[MENTION=203117]jamesdak[/MENTION] yeah, the Vueltas have taken my 210-215 lb self--and tons of out of saddle climbing and sprinting efforts--without issue. You will be more than fine!
