    Another unexpected purchase,the Fausto Coppi Lugano 53 in Columbus Genius

    Bianch Genius

    Great frame and great bike 👍 The Genius tubing allowed race bikes to be light and stiff, I think this one as such should weigh between 9.4 killos-9.6 kilos and with a carbon fork between it would weight 8.9kilos -9.2kilos.
