A Canadian bike with a French-sounding brand name, Italian parts and named for the senoritas south of the US border. What's not to like?
Pretty nice-looking bike. I love that sloping fork crown.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone gush over Synchro--even in the Counterpoints!

Once again, these great views into the past have been an evil enabler. Just finished this refurb last night.
Thanks SpeedofLite

I get SO confused reading the people who made my dishwasher might have made bikes. :-)

I wish Ferarra had talked about the 73-degree seat tube in relation to the rest of the bike. Combined with the 72-degree head tube, that sounds like the best of both worlds.
