I had a 2008 Capo in Paris, in 52 cm, weighted it at 6.7kgs in the shop. Red and white, rode it twice before it got nicked in the middle of busy saturday afternoon rue Royale, a week ago. 2 locks, the guys took off with the full barrier it was attached to... Guess it looked too shiny, frame was nicely finished,though I have to agree components were a bit marshmallowy (but still a nervous bike in 52, I liked it for the whole 15Kms I was able to use it on).
Been searching for it on all French used bikes websites since then, apparently less than 50 were imported in the country, I guess it should resurface. Bottom line: I am gutted and I ride those 20kgs+ velibs now (very relaxed geometry indeed). Not completely on-topic for my first post, but letting a bit of steam off was nice!
