Racelight T

Stiff, very stiff. It's great for power work and high speed sprints are a joy, but ridiculously comfortable on 150 mile rides. At 30+ mph out of the saddle and hauling everything is where this bike really shines - the weight of this keeps it firmly categorised in the training genre but oh for faced paced rides on this - as the steed is so firmly rooted and sure-footed. It isn't a porker at about 22lbs but heavy enough to work the rider hard and track well. The 700C fork on a frame designed for mudguards gives the front end a steeper head angle which in turn gives this bike the handling it deserves. It is nimble and predictable through the turns and performs with attributes approaching a racing bike, rather than a training bike. All in all, a brilliant training bike built to withstand the rigours of London roads.
