I work in the graphics industry. I used Photoshop to take out my daughter's hand. I had her pinch the rear tire to hold it up and all I had to do was take out her fingers and clone a little tire and grass. No big deal. Careful, you can't always believe what you see.

Very cool bike. How do you like the Topolino Wheels? Any concerns about it being a new/small company?

I've had problems with the wheels, but the company has 100% stood behind their product. They are a very smooth ride, which is what I sought in buying them.

The rear hub had play, and it had to be repaired several times. Finally they replaced the wheel. The new wheel lost tension and trueness quickly, and they rebuilt that wheel. They even paid the shipping charges both ways on it. |

I've ridden steel all of my life, and finally broke down and purchased a Dale this last fall. I agree on the rough ride . . .added a Selle Italia ProLink gel flow, and FSA Carbon bars, stem, and seatpost . . .rides like a dream . . . .

I bought an R800 this last fall and wrecked it after 3 weeks!!!! I just got my frame replacemnt from CDale, and it is a CAAD5 '04 Saeco sprayed frame. Love the darn thing. I would suggest getting some more carbon for the bike, bars and seatpost . . .smooths out the ride wonderfully!!

The aluminum on cdales is so thin, its like riding a tin can.
I know many that have been scraped after the bike falling over. Quote:

I do not have the new 2004 Aires but i have the 2002 which is the steel with carbon fork and i love the bike. One of the main reasons that i love the lemond style is because it fits riders with a taller torso than longer legs and it fit me the best. i tried many bikes and felt this was the best fit but overall i can tell you this much i will never own anything as long as lemond is still a company. and just a side note my brother has the Zurich and he was in a wreck and sent it in to lemond and they gave him a new frame incase anything was cracked inside the carbon hands down they have great service |

I feel almost embarrassed showing my ride here: isn’t carbon, isn’t titanium, isn’t custom build, but it’s the black beauty and she’s all mine.
Regards. P.S. In reallity, the bike do have pedals and the front tyre is complete ![]()

Of course, I still have a huge Jones (desire) for more carbon.
