After four consecutive Seagull Century rides on my 99 Stratus, I completed this year's ride (on
Saturday) on my new Strada. Under poor weather conditions (wind and rain), I can say with impunity
that the Strada outperformed the Stratus in every way. Make no mistake, I still love my Stratus. In
fact I still prefer it over the Strada for commuting. But to ride hard for 100 miles, the lighter
weight, big wheeled, aerodynamic Strada wins hands down. It's simply a faster, more efficient bike.
In fact, it was so efficient that I hammered in ahead of my upright buddy, who is a much stronger
rider (but got beat up by the wind and rain). For those taller riders still on the fence, the dual
26's are amazing. I still can't believe it! Folks, this is the bike!
