I know you guys prefer serottas, but maybe you should consider setting aside 2 1/2 large for this little gem as your next ride. If this sells, I'm in the wrong buisness.

A couple of things.

Bobcor is a very reputable Alfa Romeo dealership with a long history of race car support as well.

If you Google Alfa Romeo bicycles you get a link to an article that actually shows the bike. It is an aluminum (type 7005) frame with a straight handle bar, Campy equipped, and an odd looking main triangle where the top tube curves down to connect with the down tube a few inches before the head tube junction. This leaves the head tube supported by only the down tube. The bike has a carbon fork and wheels and brakes I've never heard of.

. . . as my daughter is fond of saying. I wonder what they've done--if anything--to strengthen that down tube-top tube junction? It's gonna break right about--THERE! :eek:
