For riders whose primary focus is not on low weight, the "San Remo" is a faithful companion with a wide range of uses. The neatly painted, very rigid aluminium frame comes with a now rare, robust and beautifully shaped aluminium fork. Thanks to the relaxed riding position and a remarkably comfortable saddle, it doesn't get uncomfortable even on long tours, and with the wide 3x9 gear range you are equipped for any terrain. The equipment is not sophisticated, but solid throughout. "The Tiagra brakes and gears work as precisely as you would expect from Shimano components; the classically constructed wheels with 32 spokes each are easy to maintain. Tip: grease the somewhat rough-running cone-mounted Tiagra hubs properly, then the wheels will have a long life ahead of them.
