And now a great bike just got better, with the addition of Columbus Tusk carbon-fiber seat stays, from the leader in carbon-fiber bike components. Carbon fiber also damps road vibrations, increasing comfort and reducing fatigue over long, hard rides. Comfortable, smooth-steering cockpit includes FSA handlebar and stem and Ritchey Logic headset. Details make all the difference—the Wipperman 10SO chain features the Connex link for easy shop maintenance and fast field repairs. Lightweight Shimano R550 rims and hubs reduce rotational inertia, a key benefit when quick acceleration is in your immediate future. Long favored by performance riders for its high quality and low price, Novara Strada now features lightweight Columbus Tusk carbon-fiber seat stays! Pedals not included. Shimano 105 10-cog cassette and forward triple chainring provide quick, crisp shifts and gearing to tackle any terrain. Shimano 105 shifter/brake levers allow fast shifting and braking control without the need to remove hands from handlebars—great for brisk rides. Strada is your all-around ride, fast enough for fitness training and racing, yet comfortable and stable for touring rides over mountain passes. Streamlined, lightweight San Marco Blaze racing saddle is contoured and lightly padded for long training rides. Together, the lightweight AN6 aluminum and carbon fiber provide the stiffness required for quick acceleration and efficient energy transfer in climbs. Tusk front fork, with integrated alloy steerer, provides the lateral wheel stability required for sprinting and cutting razor sharp lines in turns. Two-piece crankset with integrated cups weighs less and is more easily maintained than conventional cranksets. Vittoria Rubino Pro tires offer a good mix of durability, grippiness and fast performance.
