It is my first carbon road bike i have bought and everything you talked about in the video with regards to the frame is spot on.
The best $2.5k I have spent.

Since when has an RS been $9k?durianrider wrote:Holding up great. I did a review video on it. Bought with my own $ too so not a 'sneaky bike "'review"'. I compare it to my 9k Cervelo using a power meter up a local climb that was featured in the 2013 TDU.

Anyone know what the difference between the Forza frames and Mezzo 90 frames is?

I am a larger gentleman and was told the Forza had no weight limit.
Looking at both frames I think the Mezzo has a thinner down tube and is a bit lighter than the Forza.
I looked at the Polygon, but because Azzurri offer a lifetime warranty, I went with them.
The review of the Polygon looked good as well.

As long as the bike is maintained appropriately and serviced by a qualified mechanic at least once every twelve months, Azzurri will honour the warranty.
At least that's what they said to me. I have not put it to the test as yet.

Polygon looks like a good deal. Azzurri is the superior product though as indicated by the lifetime warranty vs 5 year.simonn wrote:Good review! Have been considering an Azzurri. Azzurri vs Polygon hmmm...
I like to think of bike frames as houses. If the builder offers a longer warranty on workmanship it means to me they put in a better effort.

That is true. Cervelo have changed hands and no longer owned by Cervelo.
Azzurri is owned by Azzurri and not big enough that its going to be bought out anytime soon.
Cervelo are low quality carbon bikes in my experience. After a few thousand miles they flex a lot. Mine certainly has.

But as u have pointed out DR, there is some "lifetime warranties" that aren't worth the paper they are written on. From my experience, cervelos warranty is excellent. Takes time to swap frames over if defective, but usually no questions asked. This is on the proviso u don't root the frame stuffing around with it yourself (or by an unauthorised person) prior to claiming warranty (which is what u did yeah?).
