Testing the Pinarello F10, and the Campagnolo Bora Two wheelset at the Real Long ride

The long ride last August 26 -27, 2018 to Real was the opportunity to test the efficacy and durability of my newest project Pinarello F10, Campagnolo Bora Wheelset and the  Campy Record 11 speed GS.  The bike passed with flying colors

The frame was light, the wheelset was slippery and very low in friction.  For some up and down hills, I could free wheel and climb another hill without pedalling. Climbing up in the right gears was effortless.  If I were younger, they would not be able to pass me.

Downhill, the cricket sounding free wheel was great.   The  Campy brakes were responsive and I could counter steer.  The 28 wide tires that expanded well beyond the 25 mm of the rim functioned like MTB tires contributing to stability when cornering and even buzz less riding of pebbled roads.

I could catch up with leaders,  even on hills and most especially on flats.  My back did not ache despite the slammed postureof the bike.

Over all I was happy and very satisfied with this bike set up.   Recommended to friends and acquaintances

(To the supplier I said that with payment, I am still doing the test drive and doing the marketing for him with this post)

A roadshow of You Tube videos on Carbon fiber production and testing:   frames and testing
mostly in Taiwan and China (as most think are center of illegit, or fake carbon fiber frames) Judge if their
products are fake or of poor quality:

Fuji ta/Battle OEM - China's largest bike manufacturer for Global market

Look at the process and the testing by Americans.  Were they able to break the Chinese carbon fibers, thought to be fakes?   Do videos like?  Puwede na ba sa mga mayayaman at maselang?  The orig and legit crowd.

Have a very sacred Good Friday

The Scriptures command us to be the Light and the Salt of the  Earth.  To light the darkness.  In this case to further enlighten many of our brethren on OEM bike frames and to lessen their doubt and fear of Carbon frames from China and Taiwan.

The frames and wheelsets are tested. The supplier has state of the art manufacturing facilities:  molds vacuum facilities for carbon fiber production.  They are unlike magbobote or taho vendors Chinese of yore.  It is time we appreciate the progress the Chinese has made in terms of technology, not to mention military, finance and political might and world leadership.


It is hoped that our education on OEM carbon frames and wheelsets has gone up a bit, so that we can
enjoy our bikes at more affordable cost,  and not just to join the trending and mindsets of rich and uneducated few. Also as days pass by, the rest of bikedom will have less nasty comments that reflect their lack of  understanding of modern reality

This post understands that many would like to acquire superbikes at a much lower price.  I am not a defender of the Chinese. I am pro riders and bikers who want to have more in bikes, at much lower price. Big bang for their bucks (Pesoses)
