Introducing my new toy

For the upcoming triathlon season, my new Marinoni VR2...Full carbon monocoque frame, carbon crankset and brakes. Full Shimano Ultegra drive components. I gave a look to the Giant TCR and to the Specialized Roubaix as well....finally go with the Marinoni VR2. Enjoy the master piece's pics.

It looks cool, but what are the stats on it?

Like:

Weight (empty and when fully fueled)?

Acceleration times?

Top speed?

Braking distances?

Skid pad results?

Price as optioned?

Marioni is supposed to be a very good bike. Is that a 54 cm frame? How's the compliance (stiffness) and power transfer.

I need to go all carbon at some point - for the experience. But I still love steel.

Very stiff, you can feel the road a lot...power x-fer is superb...I love it...A nervous ride......And yes, it's a 54 cm.

I bet the ladies like a stiff 54cm don't they Sir?


Oh, forgot to say - great looking bike, a real work of art!
