Vitus Argal - Nos frame built up this year with a brand new Ultegra R8000 groupset for climbing duties. It'll climb a wall with the gearing but to be honest coming down on it sucks. I think it's the bonded fork on these but it just feels very vague and unstable coming down at any speed. Great for flat roads and such. I've had it listed locally and if it's not gone by spring I'll decide if I'm going to tear and down and use the parts on another frame or seek out a better fork. Really beautiful bike that someone else may love as it but I like a more stable feeling descender when I'm going down at 40+ mph.
