well I ride 100-120 miles per week and that's all I got time for. I had a cervelo tri bike - aluminum - and it was faster than this bike. same rider, different bike, averaged 2 mph faster on a 40K TT . I won't be getting any faster myself. I 've got enough parts laying around to buy a new frame and build up a race bike. I just like my veloce so much...if I can get this bike easier to ride by spending the money I made selling the tri bike I 'll do it. On the other hand a decent aluminum frame is going to be a better race bike. I think...
