I think alloy/ carbon or mixture of both, square taper chainset, 1 1/8th steerer are a must for this era.
I think these are the absolute sex but at the same time pretty ugly..
What sort of era did 1 1/8th steerer come in and when did they start making stupidly compact frames with horrible geo come in? Inbetween those eras <3
The Giant Compact Road Design kickstart the whole compact geometry lark, design by Mike Burrows.
That was the TCR right? Not really clued up about all this stuff as when these bikes were being produced I was still spilling beans down my t-shirt at school (I really must get the hand of eating).
How light were some of those bikes? They extremely heavy. Guessing there was still a limit but it was heavier than 6.68kg?
