Australian junior champion & shop local Doug Repacholi rode a Duratec Sprinter track bike to victory, now he picks up his state-of-the-art carbon composite Duratec for the upcoming road season riding for the WA Institute of Sport.
The bike features a carbon /alloy bonded frame totally custom-made in Europe with Toray carbon & Alcan alloys. Dura Ace 10 speed gruppo, FSA carbon bars , Ultegra pedals . With a standard setup with stock standard parts & no 'weigh-weenie parts' & 2 bottles the bike weighs in at 8.1kg. Milan the frame builder has just built a custom carbon Duratec frame for his 3 year old daughter Beata to show his frames custom capabilities. More photos to follow.
NB the lead time on a custom carbon frame is approximately 9 weeks , longer than normal for Duratec frames but incredibly short when you compare this technology with others on offer from the USA & obviously substantially better value at 2500$ for a frameset.
