De Rosa Merak — $3000 $2400

Smooth, nimble, fast and aero... just like a Maserati

An Italian racing steed, just as well suited in the mountains as in the sprints

The Merak makes the perfect all around racing bike. Some aero tube shaping and internal cable routing makes for a rocket on the flats. A super-light full carbon frame and fork help you sail up mountain passes, while the fast and direct steering of pure Italian geometry paired with a tapered steerer and wide fork blades, make for a bike that isn’t at all afraid to go downhill. The matte black finish is understated yet when perfectly paired with red dropouts and forktips, plus red highlights on the other components we selected, you have a racing machine that both rides well and looks stunning!

Frameset includes frame, fork, headset, seat collar, and seat post (clamp not in pic, stored away for save keeping)

Seat Tube 59cm --  Top Tube 58.5cm
