Triathlon Aspirations

Drop Handlebar Image

When I got the bike back from the shop, I rode it around the neighborhood like I usually do, to go to the grocery store and to the library. I noticed that when I was in the very first, "most-difficult-to-pedal” gear, it seemed unusually difficult to get the bike started. Really, it felt as if the brakes were still intact. However, if I switched the gears, the problem went away, so I just assumed that maybe the gears needed a little “practice” and decided to try shifting them around a bit as I rode.

Drop Handlebar Image

The scandium alloy tubing takes a lot of the road buzz out due to the smaller diameter of the tubes and helped out at the rear by the addition of carbon seatstays. The Gran Fondo is designed to ride like a race bike but with the geometry tweaked a bit to give a slightly more forgiving ride. By adding scandium to their high strength aluminium alloy Easton increases its weldability allowing it to be used for bike manufacture rather than using the lower yield strength 6000 and 700 series. This in turn allows smaller diameter tubes to be created which removes the harsh ride often associated with oversized aluminium frames. The Kinesis Gran Fondo Sc is part of the eight frame Racelight road range which has something for the racer, distance rider, sportive rider, TT'er, commuter and tourer &ndash.
