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. He is constantly challenging himself to find the perfect balance in a bicycle frame.
The TF3 1.2 is identical to the TF2 with regard to the geometry. The real difference is in the carbon layup. While the TF2 is designed for maximum stiffness and efficiency, the TF3 is designed for a little more compliance and comfort. The comfort comes at a minimal cost to weight, while the monetary savings will keep your credit rating positive.
The TF2 uses a very stiff 3K Carbon Boomerang Technology 4X4 Twill material and the TF3 uses a Carbon Monocoque material. The carbon of the TF3 is still very stiff and has a high weight to rigidity ratio, but doesnโ€™t quite reach the stiffness of the TF2.
Aside from the material difference, you do find the same characteristics of the TF2 on the TF3. The first is the Reflex Fork. The Reflex Fork is among the best performing forks out there. It has a specially designed shape that provides great torsional stiffness, increased resilience while sprinting and great performance.
The proprietary seatpost is semi integrated and has an aerodynamic profile. An additional benefit we have found with the aero post is that itโ€™s always perfectly aligned. All you have to do is determine the saddle height and tighten the integrated seat clamp.
The framesetโ€™s โ€˜1.2โ€™ means it uses internal cable routing and is compatible with both mechanical and electric groups. The frame ships with this internal routing, but a quick use of the included hardware allows you to convert it to an electronic frameset. It has the internal routing for electronic along with the required external holes for electronic. It is Fondriestโ€™s best value and still provides great cornering.
Includes: frame, fork, seatpost and frame hardware.
