Notes: This bike is only nice to ride when you’re pedaling your ass off. The position is such that just cruising the bike is quite uncomfortable. Notable tech on this bike, the stem is infinitely adjustable and has two mounting points on the fork. The Zed cranks are one piece like low end bmx cranks, but are carbon and sweet instead. The LOOK pedals are semi-eccentric and allow the crank to be 170, 172.5 0r 175. The 596 is also offered in a full on Track version for the velodrome.
