Azzurri Primo

G'day

The latest issue of Bicycling Australia (March-April 2008) has a
"test" of a Azzurri Primo which sounds okay and seems good value for
the price - $2999 RRP. I was interested to hear from any owners of
same as to what their thoughts are on the bike or the brand.

Thanks
Andrew

Local brand. Value products. It goes. What else can one say?

Can't really comment on the bike except to say that one of the LBS's
here in Canberra will not service an Azzuri. Sounds bizarre, but they
won't touch 'em.

At that price I assume it's the carbon Primo. There's also an aluminium one
(with carbon fork, seat stay, seatpost...). I bought one of these for $2199
a year ago (but had it stolen) and, yes, I couldn't find anything comparable
- with 10-sp Ultegra - near the price.

It looks like the carbon can be had for $2799 he

My LBS was happy to talk a discount on RRP and, from he

http://www.azzurribikes.com/

there are new bikes on the way, so 'last year's model' should be available
at a good discount.

As above, local _brand_. Nothing said about the components or place of
manufacturing.

Say Bean, in a totally unrelated matter was that you who rode by and
greeted me outside the Phillip College last Tuesday night? I was
waiting fro my French class to start, and was a bit distracted with my
last-minute study and practice...

mea culpa..

It would be nice to support the LBS's by supplying kits to them for
assembly....

Yep... that was me!

Perhaps I should have said "bonjour BT"?!?
