Took the old Vitus race bike, recently re-fitted, out on a favorite route this AM.
A feature of the route is a long down hill leading into a wind sheltered false flat/uphill ideal for a Test:
How much of a >30 MPH "leadout" can be held/exceeded at the "line" in a sprint effort?
Settled in, wound up, looked at the line and had at it.
Whoah! Front end side-to-side mush/vagueness.
( Unlike the perfectly normal side-to-side mush/vagueness of a Vitus 979. )
Do not need a front flat going full out: Shut Down!
Not a flat, the new CF bars were flexing under my underwhelming elderly wattage.
1) The old Vitus works best w/ classic Cinelli bars/stem.
B) I still can't Sprint.
