The geometry is pretty agressive with a claimed 74 degree head and seat angles and short 985mm wheelbase. The description suggests an club racer, but for for that purpose and in this price range, I would have expected 105 or at least Light Action.
Okay, this is my new favorite forum, by far. What amazing feedback, thanks guys! I've been browsing around and the resources here are astounding. I'm getting addicted!
In regards to the post above, what do you mean when you say "I would have expected 105 or at least Light Action?" I'm going to dump into more research, but I figured I'd ask anyway
