I do dig the tan sidewalls Russell Eich / Immediate Media The Flite saddle isn’t subtle but won’t be seen while riding Russell Eich / Immediate Media Gloss logos on matte black look distinguished Russell Eich / Immediate Media The massive down tube is sure to keep things in line Russell Eich / Immediate Media Campagnolo Potenza handles the drivetrain Russell Eich / Immediate Media #BeTough, so much better than #StopWhining. Also never a bad idea, especially when riding Russell Eich / Immediate Media Stout chainstays should keep the rear end flex-free and responsive Russell Eich / Immediate Media Look at that, two chainrings and a front changer Russell Eich / Immediate Media The all-new carbon Forza rims are 45mm deep and 19mm wide internally Russell Eich / Immediate Media Even with a hydraulic reservoir tucked in the levers the familiar Campy shape is still there Russell Eich / Immediate Media
