I later got a Wilier Alpe D’Huez with the carbon fork and gimmick carbon stays and it’s a wonderful bike that is still in my stable almost 20 years later. I think once you get past having one bike for every purpose (you know road bike, errand bike, rain bike, gravel bike, etc) a quality aluminum bike is a nice addition to a collection. Aluminum bikes also make a nice option for wet weather riding if you don’t have a plastic bike in the collection.
Yes this looks to be the case.
It looks and rides soo nice I dont want to take its bits.
Now if I want to get the Neuron riding again, it maybe hard to find a donor setup like this campy chorus, that I can proceed with plan. Maybe I should not ride the donor before disassembly, but really was worth it for remembering the reality of a nice AL ride.
