1) Original "retail" for this bike was around $1500, probably sold for $1000-1200.
2) The bike isn't very light (weighed mine at 24 w/ computer, pedals, and cages)
3) The Fir Net97 rims are heavy and weak. I got a nice set of wheels for mine quickly.
4) The Veloce components are pretty nice. Entry level racing quality.
5) I believe this frame was atually made in Italy
Thanks! I recently bought a used Veloce frame in Celeste. Got to have steel! Will build with Shimano 8/9 speed since I have similar stuff on my other bikes.
