Virata

This brand new model combines the super light, super thin wall Dedacciai EOM tubing with the lateral rigidity and vertical compliance of Dedacciai’s Black Tail/Black Box Integrated carbon rear end, to produce what is currently one of our favorite rides. All the zing of a trick steel alloy frame with the bump-soaking characteristics of a carbon rear end, weighing in under 19lbs for a 55cm bike. Sloping top tube. Bianchi full carbon fork; choice of Shimano Ultegra 18spd double (Virata 2) or 27spd triple (Virata 3.) New Mavic Ksyrium Equipe wheelset. Dual bottle mounts.
