No possibly about it.

Still not perfect, I 'd prefer the horizontal tube to be a bit more.. eh.. horizontal.

Top tubes will never be horizontal again. It's unnecessary.

@Raam, I'm not sure if we have ever met, and don't take this the wrong way, but I think I hate you

Alek · 26-06-2015 02:07PM

never

Uhm.

Even excluding exotic manufacturers, some bigger players still offer nearly horizontal top tubes.

I've met him, and I hate him, so it's ok. :P

Horizontal =/= "nearly horizontal". Metal bikes don't count, this isn't the 80s

Even aluminium?

"Dont count" for what exactly? ....

I really don't know about those saddle/seatpost combos. You are putting an awful lot of faith in getting your seat tube angle correct. Never mind the fore/aft position.

Kittel seems happy enough.

I'd be more worried about trying to pedal that bike..

Well there is sloping and there is too much of it (queue specialized verge).

Berk is very talented and so far I haven't read a bad comment about his work. But I wouldn't go for one either to be honest, you'd really have to be a seasoned rider with a very dialed in position and no other issues to get one of those.

@Raam, since you're goading me now, can I ask where/how much that Wilier Zero.7 frame was and as important what is it like to ride?

I got it from The Bike Hub in Howth which is sadly now closed down. The bike is seriously light, impressively so given mine is an XL frame. I'm still getting used to it as it feels different to the 101 I used to have. It climbs real well. Front end requires you to concentrate as it is fairly lively. It's a thoroughbred race frame with an aggressive head-tube size.

I got a good price on it. The Bike Hub guys were super kind to me and didn't charge me full whack since they knew that I was getting it to replace a smashed up 101. They didn't have to do that and I'll always be grateful to Harry and Paul for that.
