Sharp List: RCA Bike by Cervélo
High-end bike manufacturing was once an oligopoly of old European companies like Bianchi and Colnago. Not anymore.
While few Canadians may know it, Cervélo is a homegrown brand that punches above its weight in the world of professional cycling. Their RCA model is an unmistakable presence on the Tour de France. It has what is considered the lightest frameset in the world. At a mere 667 grams, it’s over 100 grams lighter than the nearest competitor, yet is 30 per cent stiffer.
Only 325 of them exist. You should ride one of them.
