New Giro 26

[swscotland bentrider]

I've had my new Bacchetta Giro 26 ATT for just over a week and am loving it. A couple of years back I bought a Giro 20 and Corsa from Kevin at D Tek. Loved the Giro but didn't really get on with the Corsa. Eventually I sold it. However I missed some aspects of the bike. After much discussion and research I decided to try a Giro 26. Brilliant! Faster than the Giro 20 especially over rough surfaces and it climbs better. Compared to the Corsa it has most of the speed but is more everyday 'rideable'. A combination of wider bars, reach adjustable stem, wider rubber (I've fitted 35mm Kojaks) and disc brakes makes a real difference to its usability. I'm well chuffed and looking forward to clocking lots of miles on it. So good is it that the G20 is up for sale!

Cheers
