My thoughts from building it and a quick test ride – “what a cracking bike, it’s even my size, hopefully no-one wants to buy it then its Christams come early!’
What Orro say –
“The new and improved Gold STC is the next evolution of the extremely popular Gran Fondo machine. Fully equipped with the very latest Shimano components including hydraulic disc brakes which provide the very best stopping power even in the most treacherous conditions. Now with an added colourway, this is the bike for the rider that wants to travel far and fast, and do it in style.
Widely regarded as the best option on the market, disc brakes enable you to ride faster and brake later. It also reduces stopping distances improving your safety, and has the added benefit of not wearing down your rims.”
