Evans Cycles Store Review

Graham Townshend (06 February 2008)

I considered another bike the pinnacle aeos. The pinnacle was no way near as comfortable for me anyway. I immediately found the trek to be very comfortable and when i compared the weight of it to a madone 5.2 carbon they felt the same, if there was a pound difference in it then for the sake of another £1000 i'd rather lose that off my stomach. The Tyres and wheels retail at around £200,groupset £380, then there's the very light alpha aluminium 6000 frame. The whole package weighs 8.7kg. I ilke the bike a lot. The ultegra brakes are better than anything i've come across, just a gentle squeeze and you have stopped, you'll need to recalibrate the strength of your grip for these or you'll be over the bars. The ultegra gears are smooth changing, quiet and precise. The ride is also very smooth probably thanks to the carbon fork and seat post. buy one.

The Avant ended my run of 3 De Rosa Planets since 1999. Smoother than the Alum/Carbon combo and allows for some long rides and climbs with less fatigue. Stock fork got swapped for EC90 and adding FSA Carbon cranks keeps with the weave design. De Rosa fan forever..and at this price..you can't beat it.
