The Imola takes on the Vigorelli’s Reynolds 631 frame and graces it with a slightly less gaudy supporting cast. Not that you’ll notice any compromise, because the ride is right and all the parts are high-performance (led by 10-speed Shimano 105). And, like the Vigorelli, the Imola comes in nine sizes—including a 44cm size that features proportionally downsized components—so everyone can enjoy the wide-open winding roads that make a great road bike so soul-stirring.

 

 

Highlights: Reynolds 631 steel frame. Carbon fork. Shimano 105 brakes and 20-speed shifting. Sugino Compact 34/50 crank. Shimano R651 wheels.
