Fairlight Strael Review - Pedigree All-Season Steel

New kid on the block Fairlight Cycles sent us its all-season mile muncher back in December, and resident mud-guard fetishist Jack Luke has now logged enough rainy, snowy and dirty miles to pull together his final verdict.

All reviewers should use this review as an example of how it's done.

The Gatorskins flatted because they're awful.

For all season/winter road bike it might be an idea to get a cx bike that can fit a compact chainring setup and just put mudgaurds and 30mm tyres on it

Gatorskins are a near gold standard over here.

853 steel is air hardened sounds like it would be like a tool steel, super strong but hard to work with. To form that steel into a seamless tube would be very difficult.

crap tires and wheels for such an expensive bike...

[johnobrien]

To be honest if your actually looking for a fast bike that you can cycle all day up and down hills that's light and cheap you cant go wrong with the Canyon Endurace. It seemed to fit everything he said about this bike but you wont be held back by it on the climbs.

HOW MUCH do the FRAME & FORK weigh?

There is always something breaking for bike-radar, unless it is specialized or a canondale product who give them truckloads of money for their dumb products.
