Verite 105 team: Great Bike, Even Better Price!

bogeyride, Australia  (17 November 2011)

I have been really impressed with the bike. almost bought a Giant TCR Advanced 2 for twice the price, but the Verite on paper was too good to knock back. Did I mention it's only $1,299! Had for 3 months and its been awesome so far...

Unbelievable Quality & Value

Rob, Australia  (28 November 2011)

I've spent the last couple of years losing weight and getting fit and healthy - I decided it was time to get off the exercise bike and on the road. I look at LOTS of bikes, from all of the well known brands, with a budget of around $2k. Thankfully, the one I wanted, I couldn't get in my size, and then a friend told me to wait for Cycling Express to open up and check it out. Well, I'm glad I did, and I'm glad I increased my budget and and am confident the wait was worth it. This bike is an absolute dream; it's so simple and smooth to ride; adjustment and setup were easily done (even for a rookie; Youtube was helpful). The gear changes are crisp and quick, and not having to worry about additional maintenance is a bonus. I've got a few friends with expensive Euro Bikes, all of them have been blown away by the quality and feel of the Azzuri Di2, and can't believe I got a bike with that feature set for such a competitive price. Very, very happy :)

Verite Team Ultegra: Carbon everywhere! Awesome comfort level.

This was my first time buying a bike on-line so took a leap… In any event... This bike is amazing! I ride about 75 k's at a time with guys who have custom made super expensive bikes. I keep up no problem. There is Carbon Everywhere! Fork, frame, Headset. This is really a great bang for the buck. Also quick for a "comfotable road bike" I replaced the Saddle with the Fizik Arione CX that I've been using for years and it's even better in my opinion.

very impressed - Azzurri Forza SL Dura Ace

cadelevansistheman from Australia Owner 24 August 2011

Pros: Good looking for a shop branded bike and quicker than my last couple bikes. Impressed Cons: Took a week to arrive but that's really not too bad Overall: Thought I was pretty courageous buying a bike online, I've bought lots of other stuff online but never a complete bike. Anyway, relieved when the bike got to me and it was actually really really good. And I used to work in a bike shop and have ridden a lot of different bikes so I am not just some noob who wouldn't know the difference between a good bike and a shite one. Like I said very impressed. Ridden it up MT Lofty and I smashed two mins off my PB, don't know if I was just having a good day or if the bike really is that much better than my last bike, seem to be the bike.

The Forza SL is an awesome bike - Azzurri Forza SL Dura Ace

Brendan from Australia Owner 24 January 2012

I have three carbon fibre bikes (the other two much more expensive - an 05 European & 09 Giant) and five sets of wheels. I mix them up, but more often than not take this one - 3500kms since purchase in Sept 2011. Every time I ride Forza SL I am rapt I bought it. I got it with Ksyrium Elites (as I already had carbon Dura Ace CLs, otherwise I would have gone that way). I cannot emphasize it enough... this is a GREAT bike. Hills, sprints, touring, it does it all. Comfortable, stiff, fast, full Dura Ace for less than 3 grand?!? You simply will not find more bang for your buck.

Great all round tyre, very fast - Continental Race King UST - 26 x 2.2

BMC MTB from Australia Owner 16 January 2012

Put these on my BMC TE01 after running Rocket Ron's which came on it new. These are a much faster tyre, and by far a better all rounder and very light. They give very positive grip on hard surfaces and very low rolling resistance. Cornering is brilliant. There are a lot of varying surfaces around my local trails, including a lot of hard packed trails covered in a loose gravel surface, but these tyres eat them up no probs, providing fast riding and positive grip. Loving them so far.

Great wind vest - Cycling Express Wind Vest / Gilet

Scott from Australia Owner 15 November 2011

Excellent value in a wind vest. Works perfectly , and packs down to nothing , easily fitting into a jersey pocket.
