High production costs.
Being Italian.

No real world performance gains.
Thought I'd give a quick update on the mech, which prob isn't the best thing as the bike is up for sale in the classifieds, but I'm not desperate to sell (hence the price). I'd not been out on it since the end of last summer and I've only put 150miles on it last year! The charity ride I was aiming to do was cancelled and every time I go to the garage a MTB comes out. Anyways, I had to do a quick trip to town yesterday so this bike did come out.
However i hadn't realised that in storage the shifter had been reset and the mech was in 12th gear with the chain sitting on 1st, so completely miss-geared across the block. First strong pedal stroke took two teeth off the top Jockey wheel! No other damage and a quick email to Ingrid and they are posting out a replacement jockey wheel foc.
Ah it does say INGRID. I though it was RIDING kinda upside down. I like it more now.
FOC.... lolz 😛
