Moda Forte 2013

I had my aventon mataro stolen a while back and came across this bike browsing the french equivalent of craigslist by randomly searching 'track bike'. The seller was moving away soon and very kindly sold me the stock bike for a fraction of it's value. I fell in love with the geometry and the ride feel so much that it's the first time i've wished to properly upgrade components. I must say it's been by far my favourite commuter / leisure bike ever.

They add a good couple of centimetres to the reach so it takes a bit of messing around with stem length and bar reach but once it’s dialed in they feel fantastic, long rides are finally truly enjoyable
