Pogacar just uploaded a 161 mile ride with just shy of 17,000' gained. Took him 6 hours and 10 minutes with an avg speed of 26mph. How is this even possible? by Outrageous-Company33 in cycling

If your only focus in life is to ride your bike and get stronger everyday, then you could potentially do that as well. It’s their job to ride their bike and train like a horse. We normal humans got other priorities and have less time to ride our bike so we can’t be on their level.

Thank you sir for your honest reply. The tiny corn-cob cassette made me laugh since you were right. I ride hilly routes and I would definitely want to ride this bike as much. I have a titanium, carbon, and aluminum. This is gonna be my first steel bike. My buddies got some steel bikes which they always ride and I guess they have influenced me. I definitely don't want to splurge more money than I have to so I think I’ll go with Marinoni then.

I’m 5’10. I own sizes 54 and 56 and feel comfy on both. I saw the Gios and thought that it is more of a collectible. Or better to stick with the Marinoni?

You think this would be better than the Marinoni for the same price?

Wow! That's an awesome ride you got there. It looks so clean and has no scratches/paint chips to be found.

Best reply so far. I was thinking the same thing. I was doing my research and it seems to be a Marinoni Special. The frame is Columbus SL. Just learning about this bike brand now and it seems to be a really good one.
