With the time popular Oria tubing used by other well known Italian frame companies, this bicycle proved to be no exception to the quality of Italian bike manufacturing. Featuring Japanese components throughout it is the best of both worlds.The groupset consists of Shimano Dura Ace components. The Dura Ace downtube shifters are indexing at its finest. Also, the front and real derailleur are unbelievably smooth and shift with ease and efficiency. The front derailleur is very impressive with a near seamless transition from bottom to top chainring and vice versa. The Dura Ace crankset and pedals help round out the drivetrain aspect of this beauty.
The quality Japanese components help propel a set of Mavic Open Pro rims laced to Shimano Dura Ace hubs. The wheels show flawless craftsmanship which is common on a wheelset assembled by Covi Hazelwood of Two Wheeler Dealer in Wilmington, NC.
The Shimano 600 seatpost is the only exception to the Dura Ace fashion yet still shows stunning Japanese craftsmanship. Atop the quality seatpost is a white Selle San Marco Rolls which ensures comfort for the longevity of any ride. Lastly, the Dura Ace brakes controlled by Dura Ace levers help to bring this eye catching ride to a safe stop. The levers are secured on a set of SR Sakae Modolo Patent Anatomic Bend bars in a Nitto stem.
Finally, we'd like to thank Trent Blackburn of Two Wheeler Dealer in Wilmington, NC for helping in assembling this beautiful piece. From packing the bottom bracket to the final deed of bar wrap, his work proved to be as impressive as his riding skills. Undoubtedly, Jim Mincher and the fellas over there taught him well. We wish him the best as his cycling career continues at Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, NC this upcoming semester.
