Title: First ride on the CA2.
Post by jcsadowski on Aug 8th, 2009, 3:36pm
While I never made 30 mph I did ride 18-20 mph while talking to a friend who I never could keep up with before.
The CA20 shows its mettle on hills, I didn't need the small chainring except once.
On newer chip seal I could hear the tires roar but couldn't feel the vibration.  Boulder seal on the other hand was a different story altogether.
I think is was worth every penny.

I am not known for clean bicycles but this time I may make an exception.

This time I took the route that I have ridden almost every Tuesday and Wednesday for the past two years or so.
I think the CA 2.0 motto should be "Wont take slo for an answer"
Compared to the Giro this bike skips over the bumps and charges up hills.
Where I used to automatically downshift on the Giro, I just push a little harder on the CA 2.0.
