Noticed you got it from Noel at the Bike Station. The bike looks amazing with those wheels on. Nice pic.

The 2014 Focus Izalco Max. Now that is a seriously nice looking "performance" bike.

PM sent.rpmspinman wrote:What did the Quattro's set you back if you dont mind me asking, and how do you find them?
I guess it's hard to tell what the wheels are like as I didn't ride the bike without them, but they feel great, roll beautifully and smooth, and look great to boot
I came from an older Alloy Trek, running Bontrager Race Lite's which have been flawless their entire life, but this bike is chalk and cheese to that one.

i ride a Pro 2 with Di2 Dura Ace. From jumping from a Giant Defy to this as been the best move i have made.
Recommend everyone gets a Focus really good brand.

Agree with singlespeedscott about the horizontal top tube - just says race bike all over.
Only reservation I have is the white handlebar tape - looks good until you ride it, but I'll be replacing the now patchy grey bar tape with black shortly (very very minor gripe).

I've heard that the duckz nutz of white bar tape is the Fizik microtex. I haven't used it myself, I'm more of a shellac coated, cloth handlebar tape sort of bloke myself , but the reviews are pretty good. Apparently it cleans up pretty easily after it gets grubby.heuston wrote:Picked up a 2013 Izalco Pro 3 at the end of last year which has been a significant step up from the alloy I'd been riding for the last 12 months (which has been relegated to commuting duties). First thing I noticed was how smooth the ride was - initially had to check tyre pressure.
