Ever hear of Fezzari bicycles?

my daughter is getting a Fezzari bicycle as a graduation present. Has anyone else heard of them? My sister ordered it. I guess they are only available on the internet. It looks pretty sweet. I just finished putting it together.

Holy chit, you're talking car money with some of those! (May be more of an indication of how cheap I am than anything else.) Damn nice looking bikes!


Is your sis looking to adopt any 38 yo kids?

Freaky. I am not familiar with them, but had my Miele road bike tuned out of the mothballs last week, and the guy that did it is an Italianophile () and I heard them talking about Fezzari and thought Ferrari was in the bike biz now

It looks like a bicycle that Ferrari would build! Nice. I may take it for a little spin later. You know, just to check it out and make sure everything is okay . . . .

My sister, who is an active triathalete, has her old Schwin Paramount still, as well as five or six other bikes. One is a Fezzari and she swears by it. I have a Trek mountain bike that didn't cost a whole lot, and I love it.

Those full suspension bikes are kinda useless for anything except technical downhilling. Does she like to downhill?

Here's the one she got, Kuan. It's a road bike.

That bike is a little much. I prefer a hardtail, but the disc brakes are a nice option. Unless you do a lot of downhill or freestyle and frequent Moab, Utah a lot, that bike is just a 50 lb road cruiser. Nice though, wouldnt want to know how much it was!

I'm going downhill and don't need a bike to do it.

Ah OK that's a great bike for almost everything she might want to do. Heck I was thinking my next bike might be something like that.

Well, I haven't taken it for a spin myself yet, but I'm really impressed with it so far. It appears to be very well-made. They sell them direct, so presumably that keeps the cost down. Either that or they make a lot more money . . . .
