The flagship of the collection Milani is no doubt the bike special, just introduced in 2010. It’s a bike that is made entirely in Italy, from carbon used T800. The bike is made by using the technique of wrapping together, an operation that is done by hand. Even the T800 carbon fork ever made, is entirely made in Italy and designed specifically for this bike. It have arched tubes, a solution that is disappearing, but adopted to improve the stability and comfort on bumpy. The head tube is relatively long for a driving position more elevated and comfortable, while the series has integrated headset bearings 1 inch and eighth. The three main triangle tubes of the frame sizes are abundant, but without exaggeration, as the bottom bracket, not those over-sized dimensions of other competitors. Much care and could not be otherwise. The tube has only a hint of sloping, but very minimal. Compact the rear, tube, once again, a good size, but without excess. Again it was decided to avoid making a very short rear triangle, preferring a medium size that favours stability and comfort on bumpy. The bike, which is made to order, is offered with the Campagnolo Super Record, and then adopted in full with controls, brakes, crank, sprocket, chain, rear and front derailleur. The seat, attack and bends are all custom Milani carbon monocoque (these products Deda Elementi custom). The saddle is a Fi'zi: k. Bottle cage is carbon made so as the rims high profile of the wheels, complete with tubolars. The bike is customized to each component depending on customer requirements. The company therefore does not publish a price list that promises to be elitist. In addition to this non-shelf products Milani. A bike, classical aesthetics, it will not be easy fashion, and design features with a very high. But it is also true that no specific technical solutions, does not establish specific limits of weight or stiffness. The high price and your purchase, therefore, can be justified by the desire to have a unique bike, the roll out very small, and classical aesthetic is now difficult to find on the contrary it is undeniable that spending less, turning to other products you can get the same benefits in terms of weight and stiffness. Then a choice for those who want not only good technical means, but also an object that distinguishes it clearly from other cyclists and is therefore willing to pay more.
