Ottrott ST versus the CSi

Since I received my Ottrott ST in late November of last year, I have ridden my CSi for about 15-25 miles, whereas I have ridden my Ottrott about 6,000 miles. My Ottrott is in the shop because of a computer problem. Tomorrow I am going to ride my CSi over a route that I have ridden my Ottrott. It will not be a long ride, but will probably be 25-30 miles.

If there is any interest, I will give a direct comparison of the two, as fairly as I can.

Sandy

Oh!Tro is T vs. CestI

Sandy,
That is a lot of miles. Are you down to 150 lbs yet? I am in the midst of a lot of rain here in No Cal and I haven't ridden my new Turner mtn bike in 3 weeks. The Xmas pounds are getting serious.

My ride on a non - ST Ottrot was 45 minute cruise around the upper end of the SF bike race course. I didn't have time to A/B the bike with anything else, but if felt like a nice bike that was very well mannered. Unlike the bike race route, I came down the Fillmore hill, instead of up the hill. Very, very slowly, the thought of a crash and my credit card gave me pause for thought. Best Wishes for the new year.

Kane

CSi

Sandy,

Be really careful.......... Your CSi may have developed a real insecurity complex about the whole situation.
Not ridden since November?? She must be lonely......... and perhaps a bit rusty!!!!!!


(I will be interested to hear about your observations.)

Sandy,

I have had the same experience. My Ottrott goes out in the sun, it takes long rides, it gets to play with the bikes of other club members. My CSi is stuck in the basement on the trainer. It only gets to go out when the Ottrott is in the shop. I sure hope that my CSi does not own a gun.

Sorry

I received the bike in November of 2003, not 2004. I made a mistake.

So Sorry So Serotta Sandy

Sandy - why dont you have Smiley (or someone) build your CSI into a fixxie? or put a tripple on it and use it for hills... just make it a special purpose bike!

If you aren't careful you will find your CSI will run away....the need lots of attention.

I did the ride with my CSi on Tuesday. I am going to do it tomorrow on my Ottrott. I will post my impressions after the ride.

Silly Sandy
