FS: Hampsten Cinghiale Road Bike, 54cm
Selling for a friend. He is a much better writer than I., even though he is
relatively email inept. Price is $1200. See his description below. Thanks for looking, Brian "Here's what I have to say about the bike- It is a finely crafted steel frame that follows the classic European road race tradition of bicycle fabrication. Meaning it is a bike that while it can more than hold it's own in a criterium dogfight it is truly at its best on a rolling and flowing course; stable and more importantly balanced. Balance is a oft-forgotten attribute that seems to be displaced in the quest for lightest bike possible. What it may lose in razor sharp twitchiness around the average industrial park melee it gains in carving down mountain descents at 50+ mph. The responsive, yet compliant virtues of a well made steel frame may not be the fashion of the moment, but should be overlooked. The 853 tubeset is a synthesis of compliance in soaking up road vibration and stiffness when it is time to put the power down.
