I want to thank my friend Angelo for sending me photos of his bike, now fully built up.

What pleases me even more is his feedback on his first impressions riding a Forgione steel frame. I don't want to take anything away from his words, so here is the kind message he sent me. Thank you, Angelo!

Angelo's bicycle

"Dear Forgione, I am sending you photos of the bike ridden by yours truly. The quality of the photos isn't great, but I think they show that the measurements are right. At first I had a 9 cm stem fitted, but it was too short, so I replaced it with a 10 cm one. I have done several 50–60 km rides and I must say the bike is perfect: it is light, it holds its line well on the descents and it absorbs the bumps in the road well thanks to the longer rear triangle (a little longer than I expected). I just need to try it over longer distances, but I think it will be fine… Thank you, you did a good job! I will send you more impressions later!"
