  • Following up on this thread. I'm keen on the Strael 2.0

    How do you rate the frame? I've been tossing up between a Caad12 Disc or this atm. I know the caad has more aggressive geometry, but the reviews of the Strael talk about a good level of stiffness and power transfer.

    Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

  • I like it a lot, genuinely.

    I don’t think the caad is that much more aggressive.

    I wouldn’t be getting aluminium. I don’t like that. Harsh, dents easily. Steel is better. Or carbon.

    Stiffness and power transfer is a red herring. Unless your Andre Griepl sprinting for a win. It’s more than stiff enough. There is a thing as too stiff. And the strael is a good blend of stiffness and comfort.

  • Ha good point! I don’t have the legs to boot too hard. I’d like a steel frame that’s sprightly enough and not so sedentory
