Last week i went riding my brand-new-first-fillet-brazed-road-bike for the first time, along with my lazy team mate Cetto.

It’s rigid as i wanted, precise in the descents. Thanks to the oversize headtube, and the tapered fork head 1-1/8″ – 1.5″ . Also, i set it up with 25mm Challege open tubulars which feel awesome on the road. Not feeling the difference with the 23mm at all. They give a really minimal rolling resistance to the bike ( I inflated at 8 bar as usual ).

The bike feels rigid but also comfy in the asperities…after all, steel is always the most comfy material of all. Is’t the perfect bike for many different rides, but i’m already looking many times at the Trans continental race blog so far, and the Stanca Road would be a perfect rig for this kind of long distance cycling adventures as well, for sure.
