… features of Otis (Oh-tee) revealed after debut twenty-five miler.<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 Marshmallow light! How light? So light that a full water bottle (1.625 lbs) is 10% of the entire bike’s weight.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 Sex appeal. Dude, Otis is like fine art, only better ’cause I can ride her. Otis draws more whistles than a skirt ‘n heels passing a construction site.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Plush ride without being the least bit sloppy. The C\/Ti combination absorbs all road nastiness, transmitting nothing to me.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 11-speed Campagnolo Record<\/a> group with compact crank set. Now even old men can climb hills.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Quiet. Probably because it’s new, but my old Merlin (“Merle”, now relegated to the J-hooks <sniffle>) was whisper quiet even after 15 years of praiseworthy service.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Stoopid good frame geometry. Otis fits me because he was custom made for me. I was surprised at the change in my overall posture on the bike whilst ascending, descending, and soaring around turns, compared to Merle that is.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Light! Worth repeating. Were it not for the overweight American atop the saddle holding him back, Otis’d ascend hills on his own.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 No more upper back pain or toe numbness. Gone! That’s why I got a bespoke<\/a> bike.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 The Adamo saddle<\/a> (black). Super good support for ye ol’ sit bones, plus a slot down the center for your junk.<\/p>\n
