Handlebars: Easton Carbon Aero Handlebars & Deda Zero Stem
Seatpost & Saddle: Deda Superzero Carbon seatpost with Fizik Aliante R5
Description
Overall, the Superstar is a fun and involving bike to ride. It's quick enough and nimble enough (thanks to the shortish wheelbase) to race on or to really push it through the bends, but it also has the characteristics that make it an efficient long-distance speed machine. The geometry feels great, putting the rider in a comfortable position; racy but not over the top, and remaining suitably stiff through the frame and fork giving the Cinelli some poke. It feels confident on high-speed descents and on twisty back lanes and has a smooth, cruiser-like feel on well-surfaced main roads. The handling feels quite neutral, which works if you lack a bit of confidence descending and helps even the most experienced of us when fatigue kicks in on longer rides.
The Columbus frame is a monocoque created from Toray T700 high-modulus carbon fibre. It's certainly a quirky-looking frame, with its kinked top tube and multi-faceted down tube profile – but I think it looks pretty cool and the silvery blue paintjob looks striking in the sunlight, living up to the Superstar name.
Condition
Bike is in immaculate condition and has hardly been used! Bearings all smooth, loads of life left in the drivetrain and all components.
