Same frame geometry and all, just different steel One the road there was practically no difference at all. I just went back through my old records on the Cromor bikes and everything was positive after I got them setup. Sometimes people get way to caught up in the steel type without realizing a bike is a system and there's so much more to it than what the frame is made out of.

In fact when I was riding well I used to love taking the white and pink GiordanaAntares out on Saturday's around here just to play with the club riders. I remember one youngster on his C.F. making a disparaging remark about the fat old man in pink on a pink bike. We had a little bit of fun for a mile or two but he was easily dropped. Fun times. Of course less than a mile after he dropped off I had a rear pulley crack and jam things on a shift.

The Cromor Lemond Ventoux was may favorite and fastest century bike for many years. I just cannot speak negatively about Cromor bikes based on my own experience.
