This month's edition of RIDE magazine has a review of a Serotta Concours CS.
Needless to say, the bike got a good write-up but the interesting thing, for me at least, was Serotta's comments about the jig RIDE uses to test frame flex.
Copied from the article...
"It's very exciting to see this level of consideration in a bike magazine," wrote Serotta's Director of R&D, Jason Clark, after seeing RIDE's jig. "We have always put a high premium on testing both on the bench and in the field. We have extensive testing protocols that we follow for each of our frames, both destructive and non-destructive." Clark plans to replicate the jig at the company's HQ.
This edition of the mag reviews some cool bikes, Look 585, Cervelo Soloist Carbon, Pinarello F4:13, Cinelli Estrada and (don't laugh, it looks like a fantastic deal for a "chuck it down the road" race bike) GT Ultra. Y'all should check it out.
