Re: My New Bike! - Enjoy
They were my choice. You can get almost everyting in carbon these days. I have nothing against carbon parts, but the one thing I didn't really care for was the way carbon bars felt. I felt the carbon bars I tried out were almost too flexy for me. On the handlebar issue, I was more comfortable with the rigidity of aluminum....call me crazy

Re: My New Bike! - Enjoy
It is a perfict fit for my particular hand size. The design of the bars gives me perfect access to everything in my cockpit...thumb shifters, brake levers, and shift levers. It's actually a very comfortable feel, and yes, they rest actually in the curve above the bumps.

Re: My New Bike! - Enjoy
Sweet looking ride. I love the colors. You cannot go wrong with Campy parts either. Well done!
I currently have a pair of Zonda wheels on my bike and love them. I lucked into a pair of Eurus at a good price and currently waiting for them to arrive. I'll let you know how I like them and how they differ. |

Re: My New Bike! - Enjoy
Well, I have always like Campagnolo wheels. Not necessarily a big fan of the look of the G3 spoking pattern, but then again, they've proven themselves to be effective. When choosing my set of wheels, I was very careful. I have had Mavics and they are decent, albeit a bit overrated. I had looked at Rolf Primas but never knew if I could trust something with such high tension and low spoke count. Eventually, I wound up getting them as a gift. I personally have not had any problems with my Rolf Primas (yet). I have read good and bad reviews and believe me, even my local bike store owner has occasional problems with his wheels (Rolf Prima Elan), but then again, who can say that they've never had a problem with their wheels at one point or other. He continues to ride his Rolf Prima Elans. His only problem is that Rolf Primas are only waranteed for a year.
Well, thanks for the compliment! Cheers! RL  Quote:
