I bought my CF 67 Sprint Pro a full Ultegra 6700 with a compact SL-K Light carbon crankset, great performance cane creek SCR-6 brakes, Vuelta Road Pro wheels and super-light Kenda Concept tires (195 gr) in August 2010. Since then, I have ridden it now for 3000 miles in its stock form including many climbing miles, centuries and the Alta Alpina Challenge and the bike has been solid in frame and componentry. The only thing I have replaced so far is the back tire with the version of the Koncept Kenda makes for Performace Bike ($ 21.95) and I use ultra-light tubes. The wheels have been solid in the notoriusly rough roads in Sonoma County and I am confident in their strength. I'm 5'7'' and my bike frame is the 50cm, rather than buying upgraded wheels and components I have ridden the bike whenever I get a chance and have dropped 10lbs since I first got it (an improvement in my power-to-weight ratio not achievable by spending your money on components). This sweet handling bike puts a smile on my face and even more so when I'm passing people who paid almost as much for wheels only as I paid for my bike. You can't touch anything Trek, Giant, Cervelo, etc, at any bike shop that comes even close without paying more than double.

I purchased the CF672 for a bit more than a GR$. It hooked me so bad I have upgraded crank, seat & stem, bars and wheels -- all carbon. Topped it of w/ Sram Force group. It is a rocket and when challenged -- I rarely get passed. Check out the European versions and you will find this can be as good/better. Bottecchia rocks -- Velocita Uccide!

Bought this bike frame while in college in Oregon in 2007. Put my own parts on it in a tri style format. Since 2007 I have abused the crap out of this frame. At 6ft 8in and 200lbs I am a big dude and have ridden this bike hard and put it up wet for 4 years. Frame has shown no signs of letting up. It is light, responsive and looks sexy in clear coat carbon with thick 1/4in carbon weave. has done very well on hills and flats alike and has handled Oregon, Central New York, and Florida weather with ease. I've ridden some 4000$ bikes that don't feel this nice. I definitely recomend (but for petes sake don't put those ugly ass Bottecchia decals on)!!!

Have been an avid cyclist for almost 30 years. Actively raced for 15 and owned several brands bikes American and Italian.
Last spring I pruchaced at Carbon Dura Ace Bottecchia, with full knowledge it was made in the far east. I would venture to guess 85 to 90% of bikes are made there now.
As for my Bottecchia CF79, the workmanship is excellent. I am sure it is not the highest level of Carbon Fiber out there but unless you are a Cat 2 racer or higher this bike is an excellent choice.
I made some changes as the seat post, seat, and handle bars are not very good. I replaced the seat post and bars with very good Carbon fiber goods, put on a Specialized Toupe Saddle, and purchased a set of Vuleta Corsa Lite wheels. So for a total cost of about 2200.00 I have a 16 lb. bike. It performs as well as the Trek Madone, Speicalized Tarmc and Felt that my friends ride.

I am a new rider and have not been on a bike since I was probably 10 years old. I couldn't justify spending $1500 on a new bike at my local store. I did a lot of research on line and finally went with a Bottecchia USA bike. It was $799 and has similar components to bikes that ran $1500. I know that road bike purists would not agree with my decision but I decided to take a chance.

I received the bike via mail in a couple of days after purchase. It was in very good condition and I was able to put it together on my own. I took it for a ride and realized it needed to be tuned up. After doing so with the services of my local shop I am very pleased. I'm not sure what a bike at twice the cost would feel like but this one does the trick for me. It responds nicely and rides smoothly. If you are like me and just getting in to riding I would suggest this bike to you.
