What's the setup on that thing?

It's all 105 throughout. Good bang for buck bike. I'm just starting out with road bikes, and I think the Revenio is a great bike to learn on. How do you like you 2.1? It was the other bike I looked at, but just fell in love with the Revenio.

You should have learned a long time ago. From then on it is just training.
Nice bike BTW.

That's why I can't find training wheels for the thing! Any suggestions for a substitute?

And thanks!

Man, what a machine! Going deep into pain on that bike has got to be quite the experience.

Your bike is a relaxed geometry too isn't it? I absolutely love the look and I love the CNC over painted milling of the big ring up front. Really a beautiful bike.

I'm ok with it though

Oh no, my cranks aren't in the proper position either... never mind the valve stems being all over the place, and the chain is in a practical gear. I hang my head in BF shame. I'll just go ride this thing instead *ho hum*

Nobody likes a smart @$$

Beautiful bike by the way - enjoy riding it!!!!

Top tube is more traditional, and the seatpost wedge design is different, otherwise a lot like the Foil.

Infact all the important geometry is exactly the same, just that the bb center -> seattube center is taller, thus making the top tube and seat stays longer, effective top tube reach and stack are the same though.
