    Camapagnolo EPS

    Thank you. I am not sure if it is possible to change the "speed" the derailleur shifts gears or if it is one speed you just have to get used to it. Other than that it really is a great groupset.

    Camapagnolo EPS

    Hello, I recently sold my Battaglin C13 with SRAM and bought a C14 with Super Record EPS. The bike is amazing and I think I got it for great deal. Does anyone have experience with the Super Record EPS group set? I just received the bike so I guess the shifting will become much more natural as...

    Everyday wheels

    Thank you for all the responses. I want to stay with a high profile wheel that’s for sure. I bought a Battaglin C13 EVO 3 LEGGERA which came with Bora 2’s. I want to stay with the theme so I am a little confused what to do and what wheel and brand to get. Thank you

    Hypothetical question

    I agree with Bustedknuckle. I own my 2nd Battaglin. The first one was a C14 PRO which is thier top of the line frame but I saved money by choosing an Apex group set. I upgraded the groupset and rode the bike for a long time. Spend your money on the frame and fork and upgrade later groupset...

    Canyon bikes

    I used to own one years ago. Great bikes but a little dull for my taste. What I really liked about Canyon is that they sell direct. I would never buy from the dealer anymore. Only direct for me. I recently picked up a Battaglin C13 EVO. They sell direct and the bikes have a great look. I...

    Buying your frame or complete bike online?

    Thats what I thought. I was looking into consumer direct brands not no name brands from China. They still offer better prices. My thought was to purchase the bike direct online and when I have some major repair I would go to the LBS. I think they are happy to do repair even if you havent...
