Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Airborne Valkyrie feedback

There is a Airborne Valkyrie in my size available locally (60cm), looks like 2003 model (frames offered that year with many builds from tiagra to dura ace)--this one is the ultegra triple crank and utegra fd/rd/brakes. Wheels are from 2002 or so model year though, mavic open pro. Overall in good shape, just curious about the bike history. I know airborne closed and their frames were asian sourced (China or Taiwan???). Some people say great value, others suggest subpar welds, cracks, etc. Curious more than anything but the price has been dropping on this one slowly, down to 700 now and nearer to 500 might interest me.


Feedback on quality/value appreciated
