Blue Competition Cycles RC8 Full-Carbon Road Bike - Apex/Rival Red, MD

When we first pulled the Blue RC8 Full-Carbon Road Bike out of the box, a couple of us started blushing. Normally, our attraction is reserved for Heidi Klum, our girlfriends, or the four Italian steel bikes littering the basements of our homes, but not today. Welcome to the land of stiff, light, and goddamn sexy linesand no, Heidi, we aren't talking about you this time. The Blue RC8 features Aerus Composites T700 high-modulus-carbon lugged tubing for the ultimate sporty road feel, but it leaves bottom bracket flex for the steel frames in the basement. Outfitted with a full SRAM Apex groupset, the RC8's shifting is nothing short of crisp, confident, and reliable. Gliding on a set of Shimano RS20 hoops, the RC8 does just thatglides. Exactly what you want if you're looking to stand atop the podium or just drop your buddy up the canyon.
