Haven't got round to posting my Storck Fenomalist yet. Photos are from last September, all I've added since is a few scuffs to the bar tape when I had a 'chute san grave'!

Nice! Does it ride as good as it looks? I'm going to guess, judging by what I've read, the answer's yes!

My frame of referemce isn't huge, my old aluminium and a week each on two hire bikes (cannondale and a giant, modles unknown).
But, the storck is fantastic, totally responsive, even when legs are jelly every little effort can be felt moving you forward. Corners like it's on rails but super quick, and in a super light weight package.

Rear drop outs are a pain, but are awkward rather than impossible (they're rear facing, so you have to handle the chain to remove and replace). The top tubes are long for the size, which conspired with the new 42cm handlebars actually being a good 2cm wider than the old 42cm ones, and Dura Ace 7900 STI's hoods being a cm longer than 7800 to take up all the adjustment available in my position and leave me a little lower than I'd wanted, but I seem to have got used to it. But it was an ex-display so I'd not have it otherwise, I'll get a probably 90mm stem in due course.

The best bit is the unidirectional fibre with a vatnish on top gives it this lovely wobbly 'pattern welded' look where it catches the light, which changes as the angle moves.

Lovely bike, but try and get a matching finishing kit. FSA, 3T, and Easton bars yes? Get full through 3T, cus it's awesome

I'm hoping to make a Storck my next frameset - Scenario with any luck (extreme jiggling of finances)
