Quote from Monkeywrangler22 on Jul 9th, 2013, 11:13am:The Giro can lay back as far as the Strada I think. I have a Giro. It can run on 700c wheels also, though the front end is heavier than the Strada as the fork is so much larger and alloy. Is your Strada a 650c or 700c bike? My Giro is the steel frame version. I run disc brakes, btw.
I ride a 650c Strada, and I think it's perfect the way it is. I was was just thinking about such things while riding, wondering if the Giro would be easier at stops. There is an uphill stop light on one of my routes, and my road shoes are slippery there.
