This bicycle is fabulous, the Filipo Pozzato 2010 ISP model. XS Ridley size. Giant, the aesthetics of the Damocles & its pedigree & Euro pro race proven qualities,durable, strong due to the tube shapes, rigid without being harsh, although it can be on the front if going over road cracks,
The bicycle is built up with a Sram drivetrain & hand built, A high tension, it is much more fun to ride a pleasant Euro bicycle than a same-old-same elderly cookie cutter machine. a exclusive bicycle around here.
Strengths:
Value and the balance of weight, stiffness & tuned ride quality. Rigid, solid ride
Moves & accelerates when you throw the hammer down. Strong bicycle. stiff, strong, comfortable , great looks, high quality paintjob, feels speedy.
Weaknesses:
Some might prefer the traditional post version over the ISP in the event that they have fit issues that need rotating the saddle from side to side slightly (or in the event that they often box & travel with their bicycle). stiff & takes some getting used to. it´s white, needs regular cleaning, there's lighter carbon frames.
