When we created the Eros some years ago as a sensible steel-framed triple-chainring road bike, its stable, high-performance ride was a hit, particularly with recreational century and charity riders. Today’s Eros is the same as it ever was, only better. The goodness starts with the Reynolds 631 frame (the same foundation as on the Vigorelli and Imola), extends to the carbon fork and Campagnolo components (including 30-speed hill-taming gearing), and keeps rewarding you ride after ride.
Highlights: Reynolds 631 steel frame. Carbon fork. Campagnolo Mirage brakes with ErgoPower shifters and Race derailleurs. Mavic Aksium wheels.
