Spec highlights? Well first off, that lugged high modulus 3K carbon frame. The Rhigos 03 has the same frame with different coloured lugs as the 02 (white lugs) and the 01 (red). Some people can get a bit sniffy about lugged carbon, but it makes sense, it is still the process of choice for top finish carbon from Italian marques like Colnago. In plenty of ways it is no less complex way of building a bicycle than a monocoque, all those lugs require to be different for every frame size and it does permit for a tidy, strong process of construction, with some fascinating tube profiles .
Stealth-black carbon fibre lugs is a top quality, comfortable performance frameset kitted out with fabulous spec componentry all at an un beatable cost.
That frame, and it is upgradeability is an strong card in the 03's favour. So though is the purchasing power of Wiggle/Verenti which means that for your £1400 you are getting a well equipped bicycle. Groupset is much full SRAM Rival save for the Truvative 50-34 Elita chainset. Wheels are Mavic Acksiums - plenty strong to deal with even British roads and worth hanging on to as training wheels when the time comes to upgrade to something lighter. There is a fair smattering of Verenti own branded kit on there - the Me2 brakes have the look of the higher finish of the Tektro range and the full carbon monocoque fork looks a quality small bit of kit .
