This frame was a factory test sample, I got it for almost nothing, and have been very happy with its ride and performance, (which is very similar to multitude other alum frames I've ridden). Never loved the color much, but at that price who cares, I'm riding it not dating it. Bike has a lively feel, and is an especially good climber given the shallow-ish seat angle (for a 50cm frame), long tt (54cm), and 175mm cranks. (I use 175's om my MTB but usually 170 or 172.5's for road...took me a while to adapt to these 175's for road but now I like 'em). I still love older Rolls saddles as you can see. Thanks for having a look. I'll take some better pics soon, just wanted to try b&w for now.
