| So,
it's time to step up into a new roadbike and the decision
is harder than ever. A dizzying array of choices confronts
you and revolutionary changes abound. Consider our Classic
5600 and you may just have found perfect blend of "Classic"
styling with state-of-the-art technology.
Our
Classic frame is a thouroughly modern all aluminum frame
with a little touch of "retro" in it's styling.
It combines all the latest niceties like an integrated threadless
cartridge headset and oversized double-butted tubing with
the stable feel and integrity of a traditional geometry.
The Classic 5600 climbs like a jet fighter and tracks through
corners like a locomotive.
The
ketnote of the Classic 5600 is it's up-to-the-minute engineering
of Shimano's new 10-cog rear 105 drivetrain and TruVativ
Elita SL Triple crankset for 30-speeds. The crank is fitted
with a GXP bottom bracket that includes sealed outboard
bearings and large bore spindle for a super stiff crank
feel.
The
Shimano R550 wheelset with low 16/20 spoke count provides
a stable platform and smooth sealed bearing hubs. The low
rolling resistance of the 5600's Maxxis Xenith Hors Categorie
tires and powerful Tektro 20G dual-pivot sidepull brakes
give you a silky ride whether you're standing on it for
a long climb or scrubbing the speed off on a rocket-sled
decent.
Add
to this the quality components of the 5600's cockpit set,
including lightweight UNO handlebar, stem and seapost with
Shimano R540 clipless pedals and our own featherweight carbon
saddle for a bike that delivers the goods... a road bike
that's as performance-oriented as it is beautiful. The price
is right, but it's out on the road that counts, and the
5600 yields to no one. Attack the pack, put the weekend
club ride into spin-cycle or just feel the freedom of taking
to the open road... the 2006 Classic 5600 is a perfect companion
for every ride.
