how about the price? if price is not an issue then of course Assos becomes more of a consideration.

thanks for the reviews/links(fyi, the altamira is a 1.0 not 3.0), i already made a google search and came up with these before the post. information is fairly consistent and positive regarding performance/stiffness and especially comfort, so that's a good sign. a spare bike is for sure always...

well i am also discussing 3 frames in the original post! and as i said, i was very surprised at the R3 weight. also i think it's reasonable to have expected a bit less weight from fuji when they changed the carbon and molding process in the newer frames. it's a point and perspective, not a...

i find it very strange how people fixate themselves on weight when i mention the 50g difference between the 2 frames, yet no one has any input on the other 80% of my post which includes stiffness/comfort, BB (bsa vs bb86), similarities in frame design, newer fuji vs 2 year old cervelo... as...

oh and just to another "non jacket but waterproofing" point i would like to make/recommend is that i have found the rapha softshell pants to be completely incredible! these have also been under heavy rain and have kept me as dry as my gore tex jacket, and i was not wet on the inside(as...

i was riding an easy tempo, nothing hard, so it was not sweat inside. anyway to be completely wet inside like that i would have to been riding very hard or long at a medium/high pace. i can easily say the rapha jacket didn't work during a short time in normal rain. my gore tex hiking jacket...

huh?! was already recommended and discussed before...

yea yea i already made my point clear about the weight, so i will not repeat or copy and paste. and for sure i don't see or know anyone with an altamira. the cervelo is great and for sure a big upgrade from the SL1, but again i made some clear points about the strengths of the altamira. either...

i'm in Switzerland! so no performance bike or trying at local shops. also i would not build/ride just for a couple hundred miles, used items are depreciated greatly in CH. the only good side to the depreciation here is that people like me can benefit buying a used cervelo and home...

just to update and give some info on my experience.... i ended up buying a used(good condition) rapha jacket. i wore it a lot in the winter and it served me well, it's very very light(170g) and very packable in the jersey pocket. it worked well in winter except when it's very cold/near 0C you...

hello, i wanted to open some discussion on these frames as i'm looking for some input/suggestions. my 2009 Fuji SL1 was replaced under warranty with the 2012 Altamira 1.0. the Altamira had not been built up and ridden yet because finally that i got the crank sorted out i was hesitating...

everyone keeps having to mention this "wet from the inside" effect which is already obvious and a clear consideration since i originally started this post from being interested in the higher end jackets like the Adriano and Rapha Rain, which both have a new material apparently being their most...

i'm certainly not just getting caught up on the waterproofing factor because i'm considering the Adriano (gore-tex active shell for endurance sports), rapha (reviewed as highly breathable), and mavic infinity (with body and arm zippers). what i am trying to clarify a bit more is such a low spec...

also! please verify what this back ventilation is on the montane...i ask because the last thing i need is to buy a waterproof jacket with a mesh back! i wish i was joking but i find it absolutely insane that some manufacturers make gilets/vests/jackets with waterproof fabric and mesh on...

to be honest i do NOT have a good reference for what #mm rain/conditions are like. but since my other "water-resistant/proof / rain" jackets have been a bit disappointing i think it's normal i start to consider a jacket with high specification. i'm not trying to ride in extreme conditions but...
