I’ll bite. My Cipollini RB800 beat the crap out of me after only 35 to 40 miles. It is one of the prettiest frames I have ridden and handled impeccably. But, it vibrated the heck out of me on the same wheels, tires and inflation pressures I used on my other bikes. The only worse road frame I have owned was a first generation Specialized E5 aluminum frame. I only rode that frame 3 times before I sold it.
Now, I alternate between my Alchemy Helios and HIA Velo Founder frames and I am a very happy cyclist indeed.
