Abstract
- But Trek still sells a rim brake aluminum Émonda ALR frameset ($1,150 with full-carbon fork), and Campagnolo still makes its mechanical-shift, rim-brake Chorus 12-speed group (about $1,200). Still, it is direct and responsive in the way a performance bike should be, and with mechanical shifting and rim brakes, the experience is more engaging and visceral than the sinfully effortless performance of a modern wünderbike's shifting and braking. Add a decent set of rim-brake wheels - many options still exist - some aluminum cockpit parts, and your favorite saddle, and the result is a most excellent bike. [Extracted from the article]
