Tail lights are mandatory, we know it, you know it.  Even Skid knows it.  The problem lies with the big hole in your bike shorts because of misplaced or oversized tail lights that impede the flow of your go.  Kudos to Fizik who have successfully solved this age old dilemma with the Blink.

It all started in 2007 when Fizik's began incorporating an ICS (thatโ€™s Integrated Clip System to you laymen) into their best-selling saddles.  The ICS looks like a little plastic receptacle under the saddle shell, but it is oh so much more.  That little plastic receptacle is a girl, it has a female opening and perfectly hooks into the Blink that has a male receptacle.  When a Fizik saddle with an ICS and a Fizik Blink light love each other very muchโ€ฆ you know where weโ€™re goinโ€™ with this.

Seriously though, the point is that the Blink fits perfectly under the saddle so you have no unsightly wires, wrap or connectors and your thighs wonโ€™t rub against it so it will save your shorts.

The Blink has two bright LED's, and has two settings: blinking or constant.  It works much like one of those tap lights that you put into your cabinets.  To turn it on, off and switch between the two setting you just press on the light itself.  This is a cool feature because you donโ€™t have to take your eyes off the road to flip a tiny camouflaged switch.  The unit uses one CR2032 battery in an easy switch box so you can swap the battery without tools.

The following saddles are ICS compatible (2007 or newer): Arione (regardless of rail type: braided carbon, Titanium, or k:ium), Arione Tri 2, Aliante Carbon, Aliante Gamma, Gobi, Nisene HP, Nisene CP, Pave CP, Pave HP, Rondine, Rondine CP, Vitesse Tri, Vitesse HP, and the Vitesse CP.  Itโ€™s easy to tell if your saddle is ICS compatible, just look for the ICS receptacle beneath the shell. Or contact us and we can help you figure it out.

Maurizio Fondriest; World Champion, Milan-San Remo winner, Fleche-Wallone winner, Giro di Italia stage winner, and founder of Fondriest bicycles, uses his 12 seasons of experience as a pro cyclist to develop and create frames for the highest levels of performance.

Maybe in the past youโ€™ve had a 15 pound road bike and thought to yourself โ€œif I didnโ€™t have to pedal this tank around, I could be really fast.โ€ Fondriest has the answer for you.

With a frame weight of less than 800 grams the TFZero is the perfect starting place for your no holds barred super light weight custom build. The 800 gram frame weight puts the TFZero in an elite category of light weight race ready frames. Some of the biggest names in the peloton like Sagan, and Cavendish are campaigning on frames that canโ€™t even come close in weight.

For the TFZero Fondriest takes a pass on the aero road bike movement and sticks with round tube shapes. Why stay with round tube shapes? Round tubes perform in every direction, vertically, horizontally, and laterally, round tubes are responsive to every demand. Round tubes not only perform, they can be made lighter than tubes with an aerodynamic profile, and this is the performance key with the TFZero. This frame makes an excellent choice for someone that likes to climb. Of course, as the saying goes: โ€œwhat goes up must come down,โ€ and for that you need a stiff and solid ride.

The TFZero isnโ€™t just light, itโ€™s also very stiff. The large headtube houses the custom made monocouqe carbon tapered fork. Tapering from 1 1/8 to 1 1/5 the steer tube is light while maintaining high stiffness and strength. The downtube is large and securely joins the headtube and bottom bracket together. Due to the rectangular chainstays, youโ€™ll find acceleration to be effortless.

Usually with a frame this stiff and light sacrifices have to be made with the ride quality. Not so with the TFZero. Custom carbon layups contribute to the ride quality, as do the seatstays. The seatstays are thin compared to the rest of the frame and contribute greatly to the resilient ride quality.

So, while this frame is an excellent weapon should you choose to assault the Angrilu, donโ€™t be intimidated ,itโ€™s easy to ride this frame all day with your friends or in a Gran Fondo.

Fondriest finishes the subtle rounded tubes with internal cable routing to complete the sleek and racey look.

The TFZero isnโ€™t some mass produced in Asia cookie cutter carbon frame. Each TFZero is custom made to order in Italy. Wait, did we just say custom? Yes we did! With the TFZero you get options with the extreme low weight. While stock geometry is available, you are able to customize it to your exact specifications. Do you want the latest in electric drive train or are you sticking with tried and true mechanical systems? You chose. Threaded bottom bracket or the newest press in options? You chose! Color? Again you chose. As each TFZero is custom made, expect an additional 2 weeks for delivery. Also because each frame is customized no returns are allowed on this item.

Includes: frame, fork, seatpost and frame hardware.

Raw Frame Weight: 800 grams
Raw Fork Weight: 340 grams
