Team Columbia HighRoad takes bike Scott Addict, a model with a fine carbon fiber monocoque frame that has a stated minimum weight in just 790 grams. To this frame uses Scott, exclusively, a new carbon fiber known as HMX-NET Carbon Fiber, which has a resistance greater than 20% compared to the high types of carbon fiber used by Scott, improving the stiffness and the lightness of the frame. The dinghy seatpost is incorporated. The frame has integrated steering bearings by 1 inch and 1 / 8. The monocoque fork uses the same material of the frame and has a weight of 330 grams, according to the statement of the home. The area of the dinghy steering has an adequate strength and a wide area connection to the horizontal pipe, scale, particularly near the boat steering mechanism, and oblique from more canonical dimensions. The box of the bottom bracket is well designed, but not exceed. Thin, however, the rear, especially the upper sheaths that are separated to the point of junction with the horizontal pipe. The classic jumper allows the rear brake. Another peculiarity is the presence of mounting of the derailleur directly to the frame without the need of the classic neck. The bike is then assembled with the new Shimano Dura Ace group, composed of brakes, controls, sprockets, chain, rear and front derailleur, crank. The latter has the SRM power meter. The pedals are the Dura Ace group. The tyres are Continental Competition tubular 700x22. The wheels are assembled on hubs Reynolds and carbon rims in high-profile, but can also be used different rims. The saddles are Fi'zi: k, which vary from athlete to athlete, according to your preferences. Stem and handlebare are in aluminium. The bottle cage are Elite.
