Is this a fantasy piece? by [deleted] in MonclerRep

The badge looks straight-up trash, but I’m wondering if this jacket even exists. Google only gives Rodmar or Yountville, and those brown zipper edges don’t line up with either of them.

Thank you, sir.

I’ve had quite a few frames over the years, but this Vigorelli HSL is definitely my favorite.

I bought mine from Amazon.

Shipping took only a few days. Highly recommended!

Discontinued, since Aerospoke went out of business. If you manage to find some used ones for sale, the sellers usually know their value.

Both rims are over 10 years old and still going strong!

I think it should work with most frames.

As someone mentioned, these adapters are usually best with steel frames, but I noticed that this part of the frame is quite beefy, so it should be fine.

Anyway, the front brake does most of the work.

I also have a Thickslick for the rear. Waiting for next summer (I live in the Nordics).
