Description

 With road manners and panache to match its Italian racing pedigree, this carbon beauty can certainly win you over.

With shapely swells of carbon tubing, a distinctive reverse-bend fork, a high-zoot paint job, and plenty of exotic components, it’s definitely a looker.  It's blocky down tube, aero-shaped seat tube that wraps gently around the rear tire, chunky chain stays, and reverse-raked fork grabs attention where ever it goes.

It’s a bike that strives to live up to the reputation of company owner Maurizio Fondriest, who devoted himself to producing finely crafted bicycles after retiring from professional racing in 1998 with wins at Milan-San Remo, La Flèche Wallonne, Tirreno Adriatico, and the World Championships. That’s quite a heritage.

There’s a tapered head tube for sharp, accurate steering and a massive bottom bracket shell that makes for excellent power transfer. The backward arching fork shape means it is extremely stiff and allows the bike to be cornered and descended better and more confidently than any other bike. The internal cable routings are clean and smart, too.

It’s a smooth and quiet frame, though it’s hardly relaxed or comfortable. This is a bike that is built for going fast, it is best suited to flats and descents, where it zips along and holds its momentum well.

The bike comes hung with a Campagnolo Athena EPS groupset - the forms and performance were nearly indistinguishable from those of top-shelf Record groupsets. The shifters are trim and beautifully contoured for the hand giving the shifters an ergonomic shape further enhancing your experience.  

The TF2 1.0 is a bike for the connoisseur. It rides great, comes with amazing and extravagant components and, in a world that’s dominated by Trek, Specialized and Giant, will set you apart.  She is built in Italy and is as refined and rides as impeccably as other higher end road bikes. It will hold its own in any peloton, be it a national level racing series or a local gran fondo outing.

Condition

This bike is in good condition but may have a few cosmetic blemishes, all of which have been photoed and mostly unnoticeable. Mechanically, it functions perfectly with smooth gear shifts and responsive brakes.  Bearings smooth all round.
