http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TryEk3AZp8E this is the You tube url for what I have seen as a reliable review source. From what I've seen each one is well thought out and has a solid in depth tech on the item of review. Yep this you tube review is on the Cervelo frames. Speaking of which did you guys hear about the test ride that's Cervelo is sponsoring? Make a date with the Test Team @ http://www.cervelo.com/en_us/bikes/eride/
Frame choice is the the 'Holy Grail' of all considerations. And currently there is a great number of perfect frames for all the different styles and levels of performance. In fact , for me, each time I see a new frame that looks hot I say to myself, "oh this is the one I gotta have". Yeah, yeah I have it bad and the bike shops know it. The reason I believe that the frame is the holy grail is that from this platform all else is hung upon. The frame is the center of everything you do on a bicycle and therefore it must not only fit you by size but have the feel and response that is tangible only to you. The best part is that the manufacturers know this so to be competitive the frames that they make fit every kind of cyclist out there.
Recently while watching a video on you-tube Andy at Competitive Cyclist asked this question, ' are you a racer who rides or a rider who races'. If the frame is strictly for racing then get the one that works for you, but if you are a fast club rider who races once in a while or has a few centuries planned than choose a frame with that focus. Nothing we all didn't know but admitting it helps us get it right the first time. I'm the latter so I'll start with that in mind.
I'm looking foreword to my 'Test Drive' here in Naples and I hope you can catch one too. Until then if I pass you on the road stop at Peets, because you are buying.
