  • Also no more low spoke count wheels - too many problems with broken spokes and cracked rims.
  • Lots more color choices and custom paint jobs with the One Program - be prepared to pay a premium.
  • Prices are about equal to last year, but be aware that many models have downgraded the component group by one level .... ie. Ultegra to 105 etc... so really a hefty price increase.
Seatmast is unchanged is unchanged on the 5, the 6 seatmast is refined, but still the oval cap.
