HANSIE SLIM Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Who is still riding a steel framed bike? Planning to buy an Alpina with 10 speed campy. What do you think
AndreZA Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Steel is good if it's a new one from Colnago, De rosa or Pegoretti, not Alpina.
Nuffy Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 I ride a steel mountain bike (DMR) and love it. I don't know much about road bikes though. As long as it's well made, I think it'd be great. It's also a nice way of doing something a bit different.
_BBi Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 You got to love steel frame bikes, classics. It is only a couple of kg heavier that the latest stuff, and they have soul. I also would stick with a reputable brand.Here is one of my puppies:
Ox_Wagon Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 I ride a steel Mongoose Iboc Team MTB (1992). Ox_Wagon2007-11-21 01:49:45
Ox_Wagon Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Ps: Would love to get my hands on a Tommasini Tehno frame.
ViperSquad Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Tommasini FTW!!! Great frame, great bike with campy chorus.
casci Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 OK,OK!!!! I want it! How many ZA ronds, to take it off your hands?????
niterider Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 I have a '96 steel Kona MTB. I use it for touring now. Still going strong, and its been abused horribly.
Delgado Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Soon to be ordered fresh off the press....steel throughout!!
Quicksilv3r Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 I have a steel alpina don't ride it anymore because i upgraded to a trek OCLV. But it was amazing rode very well and felt very solid! Would probably train on it if it still fitted me!
cat-i Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 piloted a steel tandem on sunday. man was that bike fast on the downhills - and even faster in the slip of a proper racing-tandem that rode with us
Canaris Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 I commute with a eddy merckx corsa, mirage groupo. Good bike, compares well with new bikes, comes in at about 10kgs. Queens is selling EDDY MERCKX STRADA R2500 (steel) CORSA R3500 (steel) ARCOBALENO R4400 (steel) MX LEADER R6500 (steel) FLYER R5500 SPRINT (CARBON FORK) R6500 ELITE (CARBON FORK) R8500 http://queens.co.za/specials.htm
Merida Man Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Sorry for the hi-jack..... but what happened to Alpina ? Did they just disappear or did they change name to something else ?
ViperSquad Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 That tommasini looks nice...... Thank you. I like it. Just need some nice campy wheels.
